Title: Paris Post by: floydpink on May 05, 2008, 10:26:02 PM Just arrived in Paris to play a few tournaments. I haven't been here for a while, and was greeted at the Aviation Club by the rudest people I have encountered in poker. I was asked for 100 euros annual membership, as well as 100 euros for each of the three guests accompanying me. I left, and I doubt if I will bother to return. It used to be one of my favourite venues to play, and I've been visiting regularly since the early nineties. I think I'll avoid it in future, and I advise others to do the same!

thanks for the warning - i haven't been there for a couple of years now & doubt i'd return as imo it is not a suitable venue for big field tournaments, & aye, some of the surliest staff i've ever encountered... Title: Re: Paris Post by: kinboshi on May 06, 2008, 01:29:22 PM I was talking to some players at the weekend, who'd mentioned the €100 annual membership fee (there is no shorter membership fee option), and they too went to some other clubs - only to be faced with the same thing. They did eventually find one that didn't demand this.
Is it the norm in some countries? I guess everywhere does it differently. Title: Re: Paris Post by: Dingdell on May 06, 2008, 01:30:44 PM I was turned away last year as it's a poker club for poker players - and I patently wasn't suitable.....sometimes I just can't give my money away!
