I was hoping the cost of a bash was around the 1k mark since i believe there was around a 100 ppl at BB7,flushy shouldn't have to pay that so...

Make the main saturday comp 50+10(even 30+10 if people dont want to pay 50 but pretty sure numbers would still be as good and stay lighthearted) i'm pretty sure every single person that was at luton could afford that and would also say a £10 reg fee in the context of the great weekend that is guarenteed is worth every penny and much much more, i know blonde don't want to have to charge a reg fee but surely it is much better that we can have 2 a year which is a must imo,than scrap it over a tenner per person.

So lets have a bash in may wherever all of the costs should be covered by the tourney and everyone can have another great weekend

PS Anyone who goes home on the saturday night is just ghey,imo of course

But he does have a point

and considering he does talk bollox most of the time give him a minute of yr time to read it.......

Agreed, however some appear to want to pour water on others suggestions. It's begining to look like only the mod team can make suggestions.

If this is the sort of response that people get for at least attempting to make a suggestion we'll be lucky to get anywhere.

good post geo  

Fair do's, however it is frustrating to see many suggestions posted without any reply as to why it isn't workable, yet all the time we are asked to support the cardroom so we can build the finances to do this. What is the difference if I donate by using the cardroom or paying a fee for the weekend?

^^Sounds like a good idea to me!

One mod cannot reply in an official capacity without full consultation in the mods room ... we have never let you down yet on blonde bashes, we will do it right and protect our reputation of bringing cheap action packed weekends played in the blonde spirit.

You cant do that in 24 hours of a thread starting.

Hi everyone

the situation is as follows

finances are tight, as is no surprise to anyone reading the forum in recent months. I've been reluctant to think about a bash at a time when people who work for blonde (and in two cases have left blonde) are owed money, and had it in my own mind that we'd think about holding one once we were back on an even keel

What are the costs of holding a bash?  Not huge, trophies are nice, some venues have charged us for buffet, one venue charged for use of the facility etc etc. I'd estimate we'd put one on for under £1,000 total (bb7 was comfortably under, bb6 was over £1k) but its tricky to say for sure until the venue is nailed down

We have never considered charging an entry fee or similar, they're community events and I would imagine they'd stay that way

Anyway the situation slightly changed when Flushy said to me yesterday he'd fund a bash if need be. That's great of course, but I would rather it didn't come to that he's not a charity (good impression though!),  I'd rather we could afford it out of company resources

The next problem is a date

Here is the weekend schedule from early March until June 20th

7 March DTD 321, SkyPokerTour
14 March EPT
19-29 March GUKPT leg 3
5 April, APAT, DTD
6-13 April Sussex masters, Irish Open, DTD deepstack
18-26 GUKPT Leg 4
28-3 May EPT Grand final
10 Sky Poker Tour
18-29 GUKPT Leg 5
30-31 May APAT
6 June DTD 321
14 June Sky Poker tour final

Now of course a number of bash attendees previously are APATers or Sky players, or GUKPT regs etc etc and we're updating all dtds going forward for a while

We'd like to avoid a clash if at all possible, especially if we want poker TV stars who may or not be blonde to be there

You see our problem as once we hit 20th June we're into the WSOP......another set of people who wouldn't make it

This scheduling situation gets tougher every year as more tours launch, etc


So in summary we're actively considering, more actively than we were before the Flushy Fairy godmother came along, but its not looking very likely before the summer. Given blonde's difficult but hopefully improving situation this is probably right in my opinion

Geo mate that is just them mugs' standard response to my posts lol,pretty sure that our ideas are took into consideration and if it's possible to have a bash then it will be done

Think my chance of ever being staked by Flushy might have gone out of the window

Exactly

100 runners at £10 a head charge sounds handy, after all. Off to ponder
