Today I met with some contractors and also scheduled a meeting with the company that did the Broadway for next Friday. Ideally I'd like 3 companies to compare service, prices and ideas etc but I'll see how things go next week. The company I met today do my office fitouts but have a licencing division aswell, so I know them, but that damn Broadway looks so good.
Its looking increasing unlikely that my property company, Matrix, which Nick runs, will be able to contribute much to the Poker Club refurb, due to current committments on a development they are working on.
This means higher costs and relying on someone else, but thats life. I think I was being a bit unrealistic anyway, sort of "cross that bridge when I come to it" and "we'll sort something out" type of thing. Now that reality is here, and we have to start work in April to open in 2006, these slight problems are surfacing.
There's quite a few other things that I conveniently "forgot" to give proper consideration to before commiting myself to the £3m 15 year lease, such as not costing in price of the cash and tournament chips (50p each chip and we need a load of them) or providing for any flooing in the gaming area. Never mind, my accountancy is bit rusty.
Me, Nick and Chubbs are setting of at 11am tomorrow for our 1st poker club trip, The Cincinatti Club, one of many over the next few months.
