Great idea - I'm going to try and rearrange a few bits to get to this. As well as being a good poker day it'll be a good social - and obviously all for a great cause.
Do you know if the Coldstreams are getting behind this and if its being advertised in Soldier mag etc?
Alot of lads play poker but are unaware of DTD - and its difficult arranging any real tournaments because of the 'gambling' rules/implications...
hi, im cheryl routledge who has organised this.. i have in mind to approach some of our sponsors before the event to sponsor some some soldiers into the event.. i have very close links with the coldstream guards as my son was attached to them whilst out in Afganistan and would definately be contacting them if this comes off.. |

that would be great ty, please pm me with their e-mail address if you can..
I know from my sons experiences that the army lads love a game of poker in the mess etc but as you say, to give a few of them the experience of DTD would be something else..x

this is fantastic i being an ex member of the 2 battalion the royal anglian reg i will 100% deffo be playing this and think its a fantastic charity that deserves as much support from the poker comunity as possible. i think there could be a chance of some football/sporting memorabilia being donated by steve walsh he owns a memorabilia bussines and is well known for his charity work he recent organised a poker night at leicester gala, which he got some ex sporting legands to participate in http://www.legendsuk.com/about-steve-walsh.htmlhttp://www.premierpromotionsuk.com/ |

Organiser, you should probably write to some sports stars, or their management companies for memorabilia to donate. Lawrence Dallaglio is a big supporter of HFH, pretty sure he could sort out some England rugby stuff for you.

This really deserves to sell out.
The fact that it's for charity makes it worth playing.
Just a quick glance through the prizes though shows that it's highly likely to be great value competition anyway.
The donations are fantastic and are worth at least 20k.
If this competition is advertised well it will get 400+ runners easily.
See you there.

I agree, and know Cheryl has worked tirelessly on this for a long time. I am not 100% sure I will be available on this date but if I am will definitely be there, and if not will support in other ways. Really would urge everyone to play this if you can, not just for the prizes but for the fact you will be doing something for someone other than yourself. |

Worth a bump.
Also, can buy in be done at the club from now?
Did notice that originally the note said buy in on the site or on the day but have too much trouble loading the site for some reason and don't really want to miss out by risking on the day buy in to find it may be full
