If you are a member at one Grosvenor Casino, are you a member at all?  I seem to recall signing up for one in Reading a few years ago when we went out for the night.  I've never had a card but I must be on the old database eh !

Also, do we need to bring id or anything to sign up?  It's been so long that I've been to a casino, I can't remember!

you need passport or driving licence photo id if you are going to a casino for the first time

doesn't matter if you are a member of another Grosvenor

The Gala in Glasgow accepts a bank card as ID - Is it different dahn sarf?

[TightEnd]

Photo ID required

Photo ID required

Bugger - I'd better get my replacement passport ordered - my old one was nicked when my flat got robbed last month.

You mean that there is an illegal alien out there who resembles you so much that they can use your passport and get away with it?

The mind boggles............

[Ironside]

you can get in as a "guest" with a bank card but you need photo id to sign up as a member (government rules)

Right, so can I join as a guest & play in BB3 if my passport is delayed?

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

No such thing as a "guest" these days, you are either a member or nothing.

BTW i think it's wrong/daft/rediculous/out of order (delete as applicable) that you have imposed a start time like this without consultation.

[Wardonkey]

Drivers Licennse is OK.

i think youll find they probably have consulted between all the orginisers of the event, to obtain maximum enjoyment out of the weekend.

a weekend of this magnitude, takes a hell of a lot of orginising and i dont think they are just going to throw any old time in there and see what happens im sure they've gone through every hour of the saturday to calculate the finest starting time...i couldnt imagine how hard it must be to try to fit all this in just 2 days along with special guests and TV crews etc etc



Man i sound good tonight!

    And it's not as if it's been decided at the last minute..

Tighty, I would check with J10 to see if they intend to open early for BB3.  When I used to play the 4:15 rookie comp on Saturdays the casino opened around 3:30 but that was only for the cardroom.  If there are 100+ new members to be processed before 4 it will take ages to process everyone as they only have 2 registration desks (and only 1 camera I think).  The link below allows anyone to pre register for membership of J10 which may speed things up.

The Grosvenor website is notoriously temperamental

As to the start time, it was a complicated decision that we wanted to make as quick as possible to give everyone maximum notice but really wrestled with. Consultation is of course preferable. Indeed there is thread after thread on the bb3 board consulting!

However on this occasion due to the many people we were negotiating with...the casino, the conference people at the Village for the quiz room etc a quick decision was required

TightEnd cheers for the explaination but really, theres no need to justify yourself. The organisation of this magnitude speaks for itself. Of course one or two will not be happy but thats the way the cookie crumbles else the event wouldnt happen at all.
