Let me expand slightly on the situation as to whether we will or could hold a Bash at dtd.

I have had informal chats with dtd about this, but all we've agreed so far is that it's not as easy as it might at first sight seem. We have not "formally applied" to have it there, I just chewed the cud with one or two of the boys there.

The problem is this. If we held a Bash at dtd, what would happen to their normal scheduled weekend Events, &, more importantly, the 200 or 300 dtd regulars who go there every weekend? There is no way they could be excluded, for obvious reasons.

And there, in a nutshell, is the problem with us going to dtd.

Relationships between blonde & dtd remain very close, but we recognize that not only do they have a business to run, but they must look after their regular Members. To exclude them for a weekend is just not an option.

Thinking caps are firmly planted on blonde heads.

What do the other Casino card rooms do when youve had a Blonde Bash?
Surely if dtd advertise this well in advance any locals who really want to play that weekend can sign upto Blonde and dont forget quite a few are members of Blonde anyway.
I hope this wont stop dtd hosting a Blonde Bash in the future, im sure they can work it out.

im sure they can.it aint rocket science!

maybe when they get more dealers upto standard they could hold both (just me thinking aloud)

so basically your saying a blonde bash will never be held at dtd because of this?

what will 90% of the regulars do when dtd hold there first big festival? 90% of the people who play the £50 on a saturday wont be able to afford to play so what happens to them then?

as long as its advertised on the schedule well in advance i cant see it putting the regulars noses out of joint on just one night, im sure a number of them will actually join blonde to participate in the bash just like happens at all previous blonde bashes.

the revenue a blonde bash will make regards bar and food sales will be huge and im almost certain would be the busiest and profitable weekend seen at dtd since its opening.

come on tony, rich, rob and simon get your heads together and get the greatest weekend of community poker set up at the greatest venue in europe asap ! one time !

No, I'm NOT saying anything of the sort. I said what I meant & I meant what I said.

I gave an honest answer to a straight question. If the answer was, "no, we can't hold a Bash at DTD" I would have said so, ditto Rich.

The facts remain as my Post. "It's not as simple as it might seem".

We have not formally asked DTD yet, & they have not declined. I was with them, & we just chatted through the seeds of some ideas about a blonde Bash at DTD, which is how one goes about these things in the first instance. And, as is my wont, I threw all the negatives/potential problems & issues into the pot first. And the matter of their regular Members was the first to be discussed, as it should be. That's as far as we've got so far, just aired the possibilities. We have not formally asked, they have not said no. We planned a Bash somewhere last year, & because someone - not us, or a blonde  - had not done their homework properly, we had to cancel, & set the thing up elsewhere, which was a right pain.

As to what will happen to the DTD regulars, when DTD hold their Fessies, I've no idea - it's nothing to do with me, or blonde. But I'm sure Rob & co will sort something.

You must understand, please, that when dealing with Rob, a friend of mine since long before DTD & blonde, one does not take advantage, or assume things, if it crosses his sphere of responsibility.

I remain very hopeful we can have the next Bash at DTD. If we are allowed to, & the commercial terms are agreeable to both parties, (they are pricey things to organise & run), we will. I believe DTD are of exactly & precisely the same mind. But we just need to work things out first, & DTD have their hands full with other priorities right now - like getting the place fully up & running.

I am 100% in favour of it, & so are DTD. I am less than 100% optimistic we can work it out. And that's me with my ultra-prudent hat on. Please be patient, & bear with us, while we work through the issues & logistics.

if DTD can't do it for a while, can we have an interim semi-bash to keep us going?
