There will probs be other action - not 100% sure that any action other than the main tournament will go to charity or our host WHO HAVE NOT CHARGED US A SINGLE PENNY. If you want bought into the event call us and I am sure we can sort something.

If it is the big travelodge on the North Circular, then yes, should only take a few minutes.

just realised it is a different one.  I'm planning on walking to the Western from the tube station - tfl journey planner says that is 20 minutes but I usually find it well over-estimated - if Travelodge is practically next door, then should be walkable.  Otherwise, tfl website will give you bus routes.

Thanks for that but I've changed my plans now. I've arrived home a lot earlier and a little more sober than I'd planned so hope to make it for the start now

You can assure your pal of this Claw......

With Kev, Flushy, Robert HM and, captain 63 re-buys, Joe Beevers in the field, there will be more value in this comp than any other in the history of t'world. Even with 50% of the prize pool going to a fantastic cause. Big up to the Western for laying on the venue free of charge.

See y'all the morrow. IIIYYAARRR

Look forward to meeting all the peeps I've no seen afore.

Just got back, had a great time, thanks to everyone involved and good to meet up with some familiar and new faces.
I went out in 12th, which I don't mind, but you should see the fish at the final table, including a pie eater from essex!  Cheesy

Just got home from a cracking day out.  Somehow managed to win the thing at a final table full of Blondes (from memory TightEnd, Alfa666, Wardonkey and Colchester Kev!!!!!!!)  TightEnd managed to break Joe Beevers' record and ended up at 68 rebuys, which meant that 2nd place still resulted in a small loss for the day!! 

Loads of familiar faces there, everyone seemed to be having fun.  The Western did a cracking job in hosting this and it proved to be a great venue for poker (including the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat on at a poker table!)

Other memorable moments - Flushy bought a massive oversized wine glass in the auction which someone else managed to smash at the end of the evening, I managed to win a raffle prize with each of the 5 tickets I'd bought on the day (thus ending 31 years of abject failure where raffle tickets were concerned), Kev was paid £40 to wear a Game4Life beanie through the entire event.......In short it was another great P4C event in the company of a lot of great and generous people.

Many thanks to Davey, Angie and the rest of those involved in the organisation.  Best wishes to TheNun, Stacey and of course to Reece, for whom the funds were being raised today.

Fantastic venue, good company, 68 rebuys  and 2nd place......and best of all a lot of ££ raised for an excellent cause for one of our own.

Still recovering from the shock of Colch reaching the final table and losing yet again to Sheriff Fatman heads up depsite starting with a 3-1 chip advantage.....the shame, the shame!!!!
