It depends on what you are planning to do over the weekend. A weekend Walsall wouldn't be my first choice.
The Broadway in Birmingham is an excellent place to play. Friday night's £20 RB usually makes around £6k and normally gets 90 runners. Saturday's £30 DC freezeout usually makes 4k and normally gets 140 runners. It is also very central for pubs, clubs, and resturants.

Broadway in B'ham will look into ...good for hotels ...
Aberdeen... hadn't considered that ..travel may be an issue... I understand that there is a glut of high quality hotels in Aberdeen that specialise in exposed wires and holey doors..
And brighton as well will look into that ...
One of our group plays regularly at Newcastle when up there on ...ahem...Business..
any more ideas?

aberdeen has losts of high quailty rooms at discounted prices at weekends as the oil firms only want them during the week so the weekends are reasonably priced travel is great with cheap flights from all round the uk with easyjet and flybe |

Ibis Hotel next door to the Gala in City Centre Bristol. Two games Friday, three Saturday and two Sunday with loads of cash action on the side. Ibis will be £50 for a night and the tournaments are all £ 10 and £20 (some with rebuys and addons). If you fancy a night out, you are waterside at the Harbour so loads of options.

Go to Aberdeen, I have never experienced such superb customer service from a casino anywhere in the UK.

Cracking night out definitely and there's never been any doubt about the abundance of pretty girls, this time of year irrelevant of the weather tons of them go out in little more than their underwear/swimming costumes. I'm not sure about those tourneys though, friday 35 freezeout >100 runners, 25+1 on a saturday with a 4pm start so you can still make the bars for a reasonable hour if you lag it up and sunday 20 freezeout >100 runners. Grovsenor seemed to have a pretty confused schedule at the moment and the fields are getting smaller and smaller. |

Nottingham?
I believe there's a rather decent poker venue there.
