I get back from hols shortly before that. Couple of mates live in the area so its quite handy for me/ forgive my ignorance - whats the event about and is there a game on?


Title: Re: RE:Game For Life Gala Launch

No, there is no game I am afraid. It's a shindig sorta thing, to give some publicity to the charity. Trad Jazz Band playing. They are hoping to get the likes of Matthew Stevens & Stephen Hendry, and a few celebs along. Oh, and there will be a novelty - Jonathan Rabb in a kilt.

Come on Dave/Angie/Malc/Steve, help me here.......

OK, well might try and make it if I'm in the area, sounds like fun & haven't dressed up in black-tie for years. And about time I got my movie star looks infront of a camera. I mean, look at my pic!  ;D

No poker game. But an opportunity to raise some cash, raise the charity's profile and have a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

We are trying to recreate the style of 50's-60's Las Vegas/Hollywood. The venue is great, the food absolutely fantastic, the entertaintment simply superb and the company superior in every sense. What reason is there not to come especially as all this comes for the modest price of 'a donation of not less than 25'.

If this was a Variety Club of Great Britain event it would have been sold out six weeks before it was announced and cost 5-6 times as much. Yes poker is great but sometimes an evening without it can be great too. Treat wives, husbands, partners etc. to a wonderfull night out - why not make a weekend of it!! Although we recognise our 'poker roots' the night is about so much more - people who have no interest in poker will enjoy it just as much - get them along it may just change their perceptions of the poker community at the same time.

Jimmy you have exactly the right idea - get scrubbed up, in a tux and get your mug in front of the cameras.

Anyone wanting tickets please contact Angie (THE BEST POKER PLAYER IN OUR HOUSE) angienewth@poker4charity.org.

ALL PROCEEDS TO GAME FOR LIFE - GET A HANGOVER WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE - IMPRESS THE CAMERAS AND MAKE A KID'S DREAMS COME TRUE.

I will be award a prize to the first couple to take to the dance floor. So Tikay are you up for that challenge?

It's just down the road from the Gutshot Club. When you finish, in the early hours, at Smithfield I expect there will still be a cash game there.

you are not wrong Robert - never more than 2 minutes from a cash game ;D

Let's get this right. You want ME to be first on the dance floor? In front of the cameras? Are you SERIOUS...? I am more than happy to do most things for charity, but this is quite intolerable.

And what exactly does "take to the dance floor" mean? Fall in love with it, or just like it a lot?

Tikay I think you underestimate your reputation as a lounge room dancer. Reports I have received from P4C HQ indicate that the queue being formed by the ladies to accompany you in the first dance is the fastest formed since ironside last entered a lapdancing club.

I would like to thank

Simon - jbsc7769
Richard - TightEnd
Tony - Tikay

for taking out P4C platinum membership

and

Justin

for taking out P4C gold membership

It really is appreciated and rest assurred your money will be put to good use.

Ladiies? You never mentioned Ladies. That's different......

Sounds to me like P4c has had a good week. Thrilled for you.


Title: Re: RE:Game For Life Gala Launch
Post by: The Truth on June 25, 2005, 02:44:35 PM
a totally fantastic week.

an additional 4 cardrooms have made approaches re corporate sponsorship and tickets are selling out fast for NECS2005 and NECC2005 which I understand may also be filmed for TV.

thank you Tony and the rest of the Blonde Army for the tremendous support shown this week.

maybe a 'live' event in association with BlondePoker may be a good idea - what do you guys (and of course girls) think. The Camel will tell you how good our events are (but only because we provided FREE chocolate)!!!!

Malc-M

When I was a kid it was, first up..matching socks, cleanest dirty shirt

Last up...one sock or less, shirt with gravy stain/tear/buttons missing

Times were hard back then, we used to live in a cardboard box in the middle of the road, work 25 hours a day 8 days a week, and we had to lick the road clean before bedtime, then when dad came home he used to slash us to death with the bread knife

You tell kids today that, and they wont believe you!

"cleanest dirty shirt". Nothing's changed then. When is the missus back home?

A week tomorrow, thats if she dosnt come to her senses and stay where she is

When we first met, I bought her and her little sister fish and chips, "Is she having a fish" she said, "I diddnt get a fish untill I was sixteen"

Thats when I knew I could keep her in the manner to which she had become accustomed

Many thanks to all those who expressed an interest or bought tickets to the 23rd July launch  this weekend at Walsall- It promises to be the event of the year!
Hope we don't sell out Davey!

RED-DOG when the missus gets back she will need to buy a new frock and get your Tux into the dry cleaners ;D

A joint P4C/blonde "Live Event"? Hmm.....

Worth thinking about, for sure, though as ever, the calendar is so full. I'll have a chat with DC.
