Who is behind this? Owners or who is managing it?

I think its run by a Mr D Cox.

Thought is was associated with the hendon mob or at least a couple of them?

Chris North partnered with a couple of THM and Phil Laak afaik

The club is owned by a number of private investors. Barny and I both have a small shareholding in the club.

Chris North is the CEO and Paul Whiting is Poker Manager.

   where exactly is it, and when does it open?

Google is your friend.   ;)  If I've read correctly, it's not actually open yet.  They have a facebook page to keep you updated though. 

Many thanks Joe.

It is at 93-107 Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 5DY. It used to be a nightclub owned by Lee Chapman called Teatro. It is opposite the Fire Station next to China Town and has about 20 tables, bar and full kitchen. It should be open mid September.

I initially thought shaftesbury avenue was a terrible location as I can never find anything along there. stumbled upon the place on friday night though and it's in a great spot, dead easy for anyone to find, good choice imo

rings a bell from Joe's description - is it the same place where we went for that party poker thing a couple of years back gatso?

nah, that was further up from what I remember. this is right opposite chinatown

Joe, what was the problem with opening? Licence problems?

To be honest I am not sure how much I can say other than that there was a last minute legal issue that was felt better resolved than ignored. It's been a long 5 years of jumping through hoops but club should finally be properly open in September!

What about those poor souls that might have turned up for the August tourney schedule that's posted on the site........... :D

It does say in various places that the opening has been delayed and it is nice to get an idea of what might be running there when it is properly open but I agree it might have been better to remove 'August' and replace it with 'sample monthly' or similar. At least there is plenty to do around there ;-).

Gl gl Joe :)up

How familiar does that sound?

Best of luck with it all.

Has this place got a casino license (like DTD), or is it running as a member's club (like The International/Gutshot)?

They have slot machines so I assume full casino licence.

I received two notes today, one was canvassing votes for Tony Holden, the other was from Bluff Europe, who are organising the British Poker Awards, which were due to be held at the Fox Club on September 13th, & both mentioned a venue change.

The British Poker Awards will now be re-located to The Kensington Close Hotel.

Unfortunate for The Fox.....but good to see the LPC pick up this event.

Phil has worked very hard getting the LPC up and running and at a far cost to his hotel company.........and it seems to be running well now.

thought they died?

nearly...a few times!

Sounds odd, you can wear a hoody, but have to have long sleeve shirt underneath?

Glad to see those 'rake rules' btw. Will likely be coming down soon.

Sleeveless shirts = vest etc?

Yes pet.  Sigh.

What are the "rake rules"?

short sleeved shirts are not sleeveless though.

nothin' gets past you

That's what I was saying  ;hide;

I made him give it back so it's not an option anyway.  Just as well...he didn't even know how to put it on.

You say that like it's a bad thing!
