Hi Again Guys,
Thanks for the phone number, Ben.
I just phoned The Vic from here in Salzburg with Grosvenor Membership Card and numerous Switch, Visa, Amex cards at the ready, hoping to make my reservation for Sunday's 300 NL Freezeout comp, but was told that I cannot register for the tourney without visiting a Grosvenor Casino and making the payment up front! And... Don't I know anyone who can register for me?

Strangely, there are very few (i.e. None) Grosvenor Casinos in Austria, so I will have to take my chance and hope that the tourney has not filled by the time I fly in and get to the West End on Sunday lunchtime.
I wonder if the Grosvenor would refund my air fare if I didn't get a game?!?!?
A slightly miffed Mike
