I had to leave the hearing at 12pm today, to attend a funeral at Redditch of one of my longest serving staff, Lisa Bayliss. She took her own life tragically last week at the age of 35 - I decided that no matter what was happening at the hearing, I would make it to the funeral, when events like this happen, it really puts a casino licence into perpective.

Anyway, the latest news from today (Day 2) is:

1. The 3 Magistrates visited dusk till dawn today and were given a tour by Simon Trumper. They also visited London Clubs International's card room, apparently they were already familiar with Stanleys and Gala casinos.

2. All evidence from dtd, Gala and Stanley has been given now. Gala and Stanleys put one Director from each of their companies on the stand today.

3. Tomorrow at 10am, each of the three Barristors will give the "closing statements" to the court, then the court will break for lunch, and between 1pm and 2pm we will get a decision.

My next post (and maybe the final one) on this thread will be THE RESULT, good or bad.......the dtd project - "the set up of Europes largest poker club" will be at last over...............

Cheers Rob

That is very sad news about Lisa, Rob,  but I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and the dtd team the very best of luck when the decison comes in tomorrow.  The sweat and turmoil of your battle will enrich the experience of visiting dtd for everyone who has followed this story over the last couple of years.  Those who come later will only see a magnificent club.  Whatever the result, congratulations on a job very well done.

I can't stand this - if this was a book I would have to turn to the last page right now - I think there may be a film in this though....a bit like the boots film about the guy from Northampton.

Good luck Rob x
