Your dad had a few as well Marky
Yeah, he had his fair share and it was a great weekend.
The 2nd one was absolute carnage, I just went right through from Saturday lunchtime until we left on Sunday

I can remember a £30 1000 chip re-buy tournament I held here in Norwich 2003/4, with over 100 runners, players came from all over the UK to play, there were numerous 10 All-Ins on a 10 handed table, there was £11k of re-buys in 2 hours, were have those days gone?
Haha, I remember knocking a few rebuys in at that one!
Great weekend
Remember the 2nd one that dad ran, people flying from Sweden and Tenerife for a £30 rb

I think that's a bit unfair Cos, there obviously were rules in Nottingham. Ash wrote them.

...And he always implemented them in a fair, judicious and even handed manner, according to the outcome that would benefit him the most.

What comps they were. So much fun. I guess they were ultimately responsible for me
wasting about 8 years of my life
, loving the game.
What happened to people like John Huckle, Salmonesta (sp?), decision, Mr carpet etc etc

Salmonoysta is still in Manchester working in the ticket game, and spoke to him a few months ago as it goes.
I used to speak with Decision quite regularly when the old Lads was still running, but lost touch a few years back. Remember meeting him on the 2006 Laddies cruise and as expected he was a gentleman.
MrCarpet is a blast from the past too, but no idea about him either unfortunately.

"Change the cards" would be called out every time certain people suffered a beat.
There was one Italian guy in Derby called Camilo ( I dubbed him Camilo Parker-Bowles) who was a lovely guy with quite a strong accent, and he would shout out something which sounded very much like "ginger fucking cards" whenever he wanted a new deck.
After that we just used to shout "ginger" to the TD who was actually TJ.
