Title: BB8? Post by: stallyon on September 27, 2008, 08:05:24 PM missed this one but i'm sure as hell not missing the next. any news on when and where?
Title: Re: BB8? Post by: TightEnd on September 27, 2008, 08:09:10 PM Won't even be considering it until early next year. Maybe Spring next year ish, all being well depending on finances/venues etc
Numbers were light this time, though as usual it was a great weekend. A number of factors..very crowded poker schedule, it was close to bb6 at dtd etc. We're leaving it a while this time, in all probability Title: Re: BB8? Post by: thetank on September 27, 2008, 08:15:49 PM Crucially, will it be bB8, BB8, bb8 or Bb8
Title: Re: BB8? Post by: TightEnd on September 27, 2008, 08:16:57 PM bB8, as per Grandad's OCD.

Title: Re: BB8? Post by: lazaroonie on September 27, 2008, 08:27:34 PM just as long as it isnt luton.
seriously, somewhere a bit more north would be appreciated. manchester ?, bolton ?, newcastle ? Title: Re: BB8?

Post by: TightEnd on September 27, 2008, 08:31:56 PM it really depends on the attitude of the venues.
We went a long way towards having a bash in Brighton for example but the casino management didn't "get" it and we had to look elsewhere. Places like Luton, dtd, Broadway, Walsall go a long way to making bashes financially palatable for us, as well as having sufficient capacity and transport links etc Nothing to say we won't go to Oop North, but venue attitudes are pretty crucial. Title: Re: BB8? Post by: Photurian on September 27, 2008, 09:14:04 PM Any where around the midlands would be good but anywhere in general as long as it BB8.
