"Dusk till Dawn" Poker Club In Nottingham Diary (by Rob Yong)

[boldie]

Isn't their something happening this Saturday were people have the opportunity to discuss some ideas without putting them on a public forum where certain corporate suits can read them???

I have prepared three drafts for three petitions to 3 different institutions. I will not be attending BB4 but I can send them over in PM (or as a word doc to anyones email addy) to anyone who wants them.

cool M3 has made some good suggestions so they should be good to go.

Rob's done his bit. The only way forward is for grosvenor and gala to withdraw their objections.

Time for poker players to support rob , be unselfish , and boycott gala's and grosvenor's main poker tour event's.

They have spent a lot of time promoting and advertising the tours and if we could get 60 - 70 % of people not to play

it might give them an indication of the strength of feeling behind the bully boy tactics they use.

Will support dtd in any way possible......robs being stiched up and i dont like that !!!!!

I am half tempted to hand in my Stanley membership card. I can always find a game online.

Why Grosvenor?

[thediceman]

I could partly understand if Grosvenor were one of the companies invovled as they have invested a lot in poker. Gala, Stanleys and LCI have done far less for the poker in this country.

[bookiebasher]

Sorry....just looked back...thought grosvenor was one of the objectors...my mistake, although they have banned rob

which is just being petty.

ok there are about 5 people who now have the templates..so anyone interested can see them at BB4 and discuss any changes that need to be made.
If you would be so kind as to let me know what changes need to be made than I can amend my letters and send the same one everyone else is sending.

Cheers,

Peter

This is all so wrong ...
Rob has done it all correctly and then finds himself stitched up at court...
Whilst Court time is limited for a large corporate lawyers representative to say they could not make it until March is a little rich.. The Court should have set a date and they would fit around it ..This to a degree looks like the Clerk of the court was intimidated by big guns riding into town..Intresting to know if the other sides lawyers were from London or local to Notts?

Sadly I support Bath Rugby and we are trying to get redevelopment of our ground.. This has been put on the election agenda with our club Chairman suggesting all bath rugby followers ask their candidates where THEY Stand on this issue...

DTD supporters need to get themselves and their families / friends to do the same in the Notts area ...

Good luck Rob Keep the Faith !!

There are a few changes I'd make to the letter (very small changes), and we'll have a look at them at the weekend and make sure anyone who wants to get involved does (and get more intelligent people than me to have a look at them too).

Then we can create a 'master template' that people can use (and amend if they feel necessary) that includes all the pertinent points, etc.  I suggest others hold off sending anything until after the weekend - but of course that's up to the individual.

yeah I think that'd be the smart way to do it.

[pieman]

I feel so sorry for you rob i have followed the report from the very begin and i just dont think it fair

how can all these other poker clubs still be trading did the lose cannon in london go to all this trouble they are state that they are legal.

its all so wrong wrong wrong wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Harmony26]

Thanks for the drafts, Boldie, they are good.

I agree with you and Kinboshie - it would be worthwhile  for all those interested to get together and discuss this w/e and agree a master, and maybe just pm Rob with a final version, and then bombard the powers that be.

Good work.

[Unfortunate]

I'm a long time lurker,,, I think one of my few pots was on this thread congratulating Rob for getting his certificate of consent
I'm also a Nottingham resident who was really looking forward to the club opening, so like many people I'm gutted for myself, and for Nottingham.  This club will be great for Nottingham and local businesses will benefit...  there's even a thread o this forum where a world champion inquired about moving to Nots cause of the club.

But I'm really gutted for Rob, and all of the people he has employed.  I mean that sincerely.

I've followed this thread from the start and well we all know how unfair this is so I wont repeat the obvious.

Maybe anything we can do won't help, but the 'little people' have to stand up and be counted or what's the point. 

I wont be at the blonde bash but when these templates are sorted can someone PM me with details I will certainly write to anyone.
