dtd staff have now fully reloated from above my pub to new offices on Pheonix Park, next door the sf group offices. We have 45 desks and even a canteen area, its a bit bigger than we need, but the dtd staff are appreciating the air conditioning, my only concern is that the sales in the pub may go down as dtd staff were good for at least £200 per week!
Michelle Hill, ex Marketing Manaager at sf group has moved over to work at dtd, and Lindsey Raven has joined as Financial Controller, she is also ex sf group. Rather than recruit new staff for dtd, I have chosen to move accross some of my trusted employees at sf group and replace them in that business (which is easier to do as it is already set up and has procedures/policies in place). Even though there is uncertainly over the future of dtd, I will not stop developing the organisation.
The main news on the hearing is that I have made the following offer in writing last week to the 3 objectors, London Clubs, Stanleys & Gala Casinos (through their lawyers of course)
Dear Sirs
I confirm that dusk till dawn Limited would be prepared to agree and sign a legally binding document with London Clubs International, Stanley Casinos Limited and Gala Coral Group Limited.
The agreement would prohibit dusk till dawn offering Casino games to its members and guests and would also bind any future owners of the poker club.
The agreement would provide for damages should there be any breach.
dusk till dawn Ltd would be prepared to sign such an agreement subject to the agreement being accepted by all three objectors.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Robert Yong
The possibility of this happening is already zero. Although London Clubs agreed to it (genuine thanks to them), Gala Casinos ingored it, and Stanley Casinos wrote back declining my offer. This shows us that the casinos concern over us having table games is not the reason why they are opposing the club, it about poker being conducted outside of a casino environment, simple as that.
Never mind, I tried my best.
