Deathmask Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Betfair City AM Freerolls - LEADERBOARD starting tonight!! Yes Heniek i got it too with the attachments :cow But i still have two doubts: 1) Are travel expenses repaid by them or do we have to pay it all? 2) I talked with Mick about the dress code and he said there was not any but smart casual. Now this club looks a "rich" one, can i go there with jeans, normal shoes and a shirt?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocket Lady Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Betfair City AM Freerolls - LEADERBOARD starting tonight!! Any questions that you have e-mail Kate Wright - she will get back to you in a very short space of time and is a thoroughly nice person to deal with. Nothing is too much trouble and she doesn't mind "daft" questions, if she is in the office (she works regular hours) then her reply will be pretty quick. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmask Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Betfair City AM Freerolls - LEADERBOARD starting tonight!! Thanks Lady...i'll write her a e-mail and in case i will call her too :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Betfair City AM Freerolls - LEADERBOARD starting tonight!! Flights are pretty expensive for me but I'm still going to try and make it. I can get flights out for dirt cheap (ryanair for 99p) but it seems most of London is heading for Belfast and Dublin on the friday with flights around £100. Its a pity it couldn't have been held on the Wednesday, that way I could have saved a packet. Hopefully but doubt that Betfair will chip in with some travelling costs.

Ovalman - IF betfair aren't paying for travel I'll be driving down from N.Staffs. I'll be happy to give you a lift back to Birmingham or even Stoke and you could then try to sort a return from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, or any of the others such as Coventry, East Midlands, Luton etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping my wife will go but I need to sort a few things out. Would there be room for one extra if needed? I just phone ibis and they quoted me a rate of £79. I asked was there a special rate for betfair and they said no - although to be fair, he couldn't understand my Belfast accent :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galronix Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Betfair City AM Freerolls - LEADERBOARD starting tonight!! I've been sitting here thinking about why they want you to fill in a form to enter this golf club when it could be done like the MKOP last week. Name and details on the door to get in. I hope they don't expect us to join this club and pay a subscription. I could be wrong but I'm a bit suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
