Thanks for this.  however we are still working through a few last minute wranglings, therefore as of this moment these dates are not confirmed.  Once everything is sorted and set in stone we will be making an official announcement.

The online qualifiers are starting today, with first chance to win a seat for Edinburgh tomorrow.  Publicity of these has been limited so far, so you may want to get in quick before the news gets out!

Shouldn't they have been confirmed before being published in Poker Player magazine in a one page advert?

So no Bournemouth or Leeds, and Bristol date has changed!!..........according to the NOW updated website.

Hello everyone, my name’s Ollie and this is my first post, but hopefully one of many to come!  I’m here as a poker enthusiast and also as a representative of the Gala Casinos British Poker Tour and I’ll be able to field any questions or queries you might have about the upcoming GCBPT (that's the reason I'm replying to this thread!). 
 
I’ve been a big poker fan (and poker student) for two years now, so I hope to get chatting about some interesting hands and any poker tales I pick up from the upcoming Gala Casinos Tour (which I’ll be following closely).

I can now confirm the official dates and locations of the main events:

Date
 Location
 
27 Feb - 2 March
 Gala Maybury Casino, Edinburgh
 
16 - 20 April
 Gala Casino Maid Marian Way, Nottingham
 
18 - 22 June
 Gala Harbourside Casino, Bristol
 
17-21 Sept
 Gala Casino, Liverpool
 
22 - 26 Oct
 Gala Casino Stockton-on-Tees
 
1 - 7 Dec
 Grand Final, Gala Harbourside Casino, Bristol
 
 
I’ll actually be turning up to the festival events and, hopefully, having a go myself (seeing as I’m not a Gala Casino’s employee), so I hope to see some of you there.  In fact, I’ll be posting interesting stuff I – and my video camera – find from the tour so if you have any ideas about the type of content you’d like to see beyond bad beats, tricky hands and colourful characters, please let me know.
 
Cheers,
 
Ollie

Why has Leeds been dumped? Seemingly in order to have two festivals in Bristol.  This leaves a large area of country with no local festival and a lot of people disappointed.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you one this, it’s a busy time at the mo as you can imagine (Edinburgh is only a few weeks away!) We decided to pull Leeds from the tour this year because seeing as we’re able to hold main events in Liverpool and Teeside, we felt we were able to represent the north sufficiently.  Obviously it’s hard to take a major city like Leeds out, but logistically and operationally it just wasn’t the best location for us.

Cheers,

Ollie

PS - A quick heads up - there are 2 last chance online qualifiers running on Wednesday and Thursday this week for the Edinburgh main event  – each with 2 guaranteed packages.  That is if you haven't already got a seat
