Too far ahead to commit at the moment, but will be deffo there if I'm free.  :)

Damn, sounds awesome but I fly to New York on the 25th 😟

It would be rude not to.

Robert!

Hope you are fit & well Big Man.

Robert!

How the Devil are you?

Not working so available. Just gotta get approval from OIC House. Gonna be tough as I've just had a leave pass approved for a 4 day rugby tour in October and I'm off on a stag weekend a week Friday. Lots of jobs in the house that need doing.  May have to get cracking on them.

LDO.

  In.

Oh go on then.

aarrgghhh, going on holiday on the 25th......

Gas Senior, Robert HM, Karabiner - it'll be like a Saga weekend.

I'll go if Zelda's going.

 ;indestructable;

Might have to attend to try and get the average age of the over 40's club down a bit!

Good man - we'll get some PLO8 going, even if its only you & me.

Can't be playing that new fangled NLH nonsense.

Fine, now living in a ditch in Nottingham.

Hopefully I won't have gotten too busy by then, most certainly in if not.

Siiigh, I've got an old uni friends reunion that weekend and its also my birthday on the Sunday so gunna have to leave it, have fun guys

In if around

Surely the main event is plo8?

I knew there was a reason we got on :D


Same for me birthday on the Sunday so I wont be around.  :dontask: >:(



Enjoy

Hope that I'm able to make it.

In +2 please (Joobs and Asa - they might not yet come)

if we organised flag American football at a goals, would that help?

I'll try and make it

Be there, quizmaster (delegation, oh oh, delegation, oh oh, delegation's what i need)

Will try my best cause the iron quiz will be amazeballs

Think I'm away that weekend darn it. Obv in if not

In

gigging on the saturday unfortunately .
Might pop in for any 1 day event on the Sunday though.

In.

First blondebash.

Please pass on anything you feel like I can organise before hand.

Nicola also confirmed she will get involved in events she can play.

Clashes with my trip to Prague on 24th.  :(

The Mrs is at rewind that weekend so won't be about to stop me! Def in

I very much hope to be there.

Going to need names in advance?

Supposed to be at Golorious Goodwood that week, but might able to stop off driving home.

Have you decided when the main tournament is due to begin?

You can organise a mooring on the canal please, just outside, that'll be grand thanks.

Are you on a narrow boat now Robert? How exciting!

I moved in last October, a 50 ft jobbie with all I need. Including a mug for Red-Dog's tea if he's in the area. :)

Where abouts (Roughly) is the area Rob? Do you have permanent moorings?

Just awaiting the final schedule, but would expect saturday afternoon start for the main

I am hopeful I will be able to attend for my first one.

Unless I'm going crazy, Goodwood is the following week!

Currently have going to Worcester to watch cricket pencilled in, but will see if that can be deferred to another weekend.

You're right!

Goodwood doesn't usually go on into August does it?

At the moment I'm at Nottingham Castle Marina until I get used to this boat and get it prepared for off grid living, then I'll test life out as a "continuous cruiser"

away indefinitely from next week, if I'm back in time, count me in :)

The Boy and I would like to come to this, if that's okay?  It's a little too far off to commit for sure, but we will know by the time final details are released.

B

You can come along if you bring us some cakes.

I should be about, ill do my best to donate in a few events or more than likely the bar....

should be in, have put the date in my diary so will try and keep it clear1

Still space in this? If so I would love to be on the list. Thanks

Of course, plenty of space.

Side events open to suggestion.....

Anyone fancy a mixed game comp?  Horse/8game/DC/roe?

Definitely will do my best to attend to put a few faces to names.

Ffs, can't make it as my brother has chosen that weekend to bring his family up that weekend as it a once a year occurance I have to show face

8 Game sounds fun!

I can finally confirm myself... IN :)

Can't believe I have only just seen this, in.

Which hotels are people booking?

I would like to come to this I get back from Tunisia early hours of the Saturday morn so should be ok

That's annoying. :/

the full poker schedule for the bash will be coming Monday.

Can't find it? :(

To be fair he didn't say which Monday :)

Count me in .  Probably have my beautiful 6 year old  daughter for part of that weekend which will take priority obviously but will be there when I can

still waiting for the full schedule, sorry

In

Are there any women going? Or is it just all you sad Gits talking Poker all night. :-)

So I'm gonna miss yet another blonde bash :-( just relialized as our flight has been moved to Sunday

you might be ok Lee

It looks likely we will have to change the date to August - almost certainly ..and while i have been trying to get a definiteive answer on this i have had to hold off on more details of the weekend

this is because there is a clash with another event that we didn't know about at the time

as soon as i have it all finalised i will re-post

happy days :-)

Any updates?

No, i need a new date from DTD

 ;booder;

Just a suggestion once date sorted can we do a Facebook group so we can keep. An eye on it and make sure it's in our diary so to speak. That's just my preference up to u

 ;booder;

finding an available date once we had to change the original one is tough.

i am at dtd this week so will raise it and see what we can do

December 25th works for me doesnt seem to be much on the poker calender that i can see

In. Free Turkey sandwiches and a cracker each at the table????

bring your own stockings

any joy? I really think a bash would revive some traffic on here (though i must say this has been a good week!)

Hi ruud,

No, not yet, sorry.

I'll try & have a word with Rob in the next few days. I was with him most of the UKPC week, but I had a fair bit on my mind & Rob was away most of it, on a canal barge of all things. He's had his hands full with the Party thing, then the Parry takeover (which swung & swong all over the shop) & the GP Tour of the Football Grounds, so I expect it slipped down his list of priorities.

I'm not convinced, personally, it will bring in many new Members, or even that many existing Members will attend, but we shall see.

And yes, it's been a great week so far, with so many people making that bit of effort, & getting back into the habit of interacting & starting new threads. I'm really pleased with September so far, we just have to keep that momentum now.   

Sad but true.

TBH I think the site is past bashes now. Not enough recs to attend and the regs/pros busy playing a packed schedule. From recall, the last one was not as well attended as expected and with no agreement/changes on date for this one, people cannot commit what with work/family commitments elsewhere.

Think there might be more luck with some regional meet ups rather than a bash.

Should combine an APAT event with a blonde bash imo

I swear you say this things purely to put me on tilt.

How on earth can an internet poker forum have momentum?

Newcastle in November...

I may throw the occasional Little Danny reference in, just to pique your interest, but no, of course I don't. I leave all that to the negative hecklers, those worthless sorts who have nothing positive to say, but just knock knock knock.

It makes perfect sense to me, too. Forums - groups of people engaging in chit chat - do have momentum, impetus, mood swings.

I must say, the range of matters that tilt you is most intriguing. 

Anyway, it's Sunday morning, always a happy time, so let's share a Sunday smile.

Do APAT still hold Events at DTD?

That mirrors my thinking. Times have changed.

Rob has offered to host one, & pay all the costs, so yes, I'll support it with gusto & stuff, but I fear a low turnout.

It's part of the whole poker forum thing - they had a heyday, maybe 8 to 10 years ago - but now, most of the UK ones have now withered & died.

Anyway, I'll discuss it with Rob next time we speak, which is usually 2 or 3 times per week.  We've both had a fair few distractions of late. Rob must be wondering what will happen with Party, too, what with all the takeover palaver. 

That wasn't/isn't meant as a negative post from me either, would love to attend a bash if I am free. Just a pragmatic view of poker in the current climate

No, I knew that, you are not the type to knock for the sake of it. I really don't like those sorts, tbh. Time sponges, & they sap the enthusiasm of so many. It's so easy to be negative.

How about putting a blonde team together for the BCPC team event for next year it will be at a Casino in Brum in Feb/March 2016, with team event on Saturday and a NLH/PLO mixed game on the Sunday I believe. Could be as part of a few regional get togethers?

totally fine with this, or any other team events taking place anywhere

start a thread nearer the time if you like

I think blonde has become too serious for a full on bash as much as it disappoints me

Back in the day recs out numbered the regs massively now I would say it's other way round

Many of the recs moved on to the like of apat and sky and blonde became a more serious poker/gambling site

Running a bash at an apat event would be hard considering how many regs are not amateur maybe trying to get into a sky event would work

Not sure how easy it is to get into sky and apat events anymore used to be quite hard with tickets selling out in 5 minutes for apat
