Is the live event for you tv celeb types only?  I didn't get an email

Just to make you feel better Graham I didn't get one either !   

Maybe location was a factor, where's this one being held?

Just got an email about the 1st live event - looks pretty good.  Shame I won't be able to make it as I'll be playing another event that day.  Will deffo play in the future if there are any more.

Just one thing - even if I was free on that date 2 weeks notice is a bit short when travel/accommodation arrangements need to be made - any chance of getting a bit more notice for the next one?

Sorry about the short notice claire.

For "technical reasons" this event has been put together quite quickly. There will be others, don't worry, & I'm sure, as a very regular Sky Poker player, you'll be invited.

No, your location is not a factor, & not all of the invites have gone out yet, they are going out in batches. I am not clear on the selection criteria for an invite, but I imagine priority is being given to those that play on Sky Poker regularly, as a "thank you" gesture, & so the Tourney will be a £2,500 added Freeroll. Numbers will be limited to 100.

This one, hoped to be the first of a series, will be at The Broadway, Birmingham, on June 23. Sky Poker will have a Camera Crew there, & Poker Week will also be covering it.

I had a Meeting with The Broadway last week, & we have  further meeting with them this Monday to tie up the bits & pieces - buffet, Interview Areas, da de da de da.

Norman Pace & Ed Giddens will both be playing the Event, also playing SNG's etc. I'm not sure yet if I will have time to play the Event, but I shall be there, making the tea, & geneally fiffing & faffing.

On the basis they are Staff, I doubt it, on the basis they play a lot on the Site, yes. As I noted, only 100 spots this time, but there will likely be many more, all over the UK, if this one goes well. And it will.

I responded last night and I will be there. I never say no to a goody bag.

For anyone wanting to stay at the Marriott where a lot of us stayed for BB1 I found this offer:
http://www.marriott.co.uk/Channels/marriott.mi?page=UK_StayforBreakfastInternational&vedate=may07&vetype=ruk&veseg=mr&veof=sfb-o
This only works if you use your Visa card and is money off a future stay.

If anyone is playing at The Broadway for this or any other Tourney, it's true The Marrioptt is just a few hundred yards away.

But good old Travelodge have a Hotel juist 30 yards from The Broadway, in the same complex, (same free Car Park if you are cute), & for advance bookings, you can get in for about £30 a night.
