glennop Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Re: PL Poker Champs 2013 - Sat Sep 28th - Sponsored by Grosvenor Poker (£1800 Added)! Decided to go by train as I may be a little over the limit the morning after (£25 return Manchester - Brum) Booked digs too, on Hotwire.com, one of those deals where you don't know what hotel it is before you've booked, but they guarantee a four star hotel. In the Novotel on Broad Street for £51 :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voiceofjoe Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Re: PL Poker Champs 2013 - Sat Sep 28th - Sponsored by Grosvenor Poker (£1800 Added)! Hotel Booked - £65 with Breakfast (hopefully be back to the Hotel in time for that :hope) Should be in Birmingham just after 11am I'm travelling down by Train to Birmingham New Street, which looks pretty close to the Casino on the maps .... although those maps are very small. So when I arrive I'll decide whether to get lost walking to the venue, or get ripped off hiring a Taxi to take me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when I arrive I'll decide whether to get lost walking to the venue, or get ripped off hiring a Taxi to take me I’ll be walking from New St Station, but I kinda like walking about places I don’t know. My plan is to walk up Pinfold St off Navigation St, or New St, depending on where I come out of the train station and have a look round what looks like the Town Square, Looks like you can cut through the Library building (which also houses a Nando’s and a Wetherspoons according to google maps), go over a little bridge and onto Broad St. Then carry on to the other end of Broad St, and casino should be just around the corner. Hope Hotel let me check-in before 2pm, otherwise my bag is coming with me until I donk out of the Omaha game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb33 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Re: PL Poker Champs 2013 - Sat Sep 28th - Sponsored by Grosvenor Poker (£1800 Added)! I've been to New St by train 3 times and there is a back entrance which saves you about a 15 min walk if you exit by the main entrance. Hopefully a local can direct you but I think it was platform 6 that housed the "secret stairway" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExcitableBoy Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Re: PL Poker Champs 2013 - Sat Sep 28th - Sponsored by Grosvenor Poker (£1800 Added)! Hotel booked and looking forward to my first proper live tourney. Only holdem as if I play the Omaha my wife will have bought half of Birmingham by the time I get back. Eldest son, fishfood, is at Birmingham Uni and would like to play if he is free of other commitments that evening. Would that be Ok? (he'll know as soon as term starts).

PokerWolf1 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Re: PL Poker Champs 2013 - Sat Sep 28th - Sponsored by Grosvenor Poker (£1800 Added)! I've been to New St by train 3 times and there is a back entrance which saves you about a 15 min walk if you exit by the main entrance. Hopefully a local can direct you but I think it was platform 6 that housed the "secret stairway" Unless you have been recently New Street has all changed due to some major regeneration works and you get directed out a different way now. Still no problem though and the casino is only about a 15 min walk. Every local knows where Broad street is so as long as someone can point you there the rest is easy as it's just right at the end of that street. As mentioned best way is to cut through by the Library building near the civic center. Quite easy to get lost in back roads if you take any other way. Gutted to be missing this due to a wedding. Would of been great to meet the PL regulars and practically right on my doorstep too :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
