Food is provided but no mention of the free bar:( also traveling expenses up to 50 pounds :( .[/quote'] Ditto, Goater. Also it looks like we are finding our own accomodation:( . I think there is a free bar, it keeps mentioning this in the magazine. However £50 travel and finding your own accomodation seems a bit tight, and will put people off of travelling any distance, I would imagine.

goater14 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Re: PokerPlayer Betfair Grand Prix III Doesnt mention if the wags are invited? I,ve only got to come from Bristol but someone on the pokerplayer forum is from Aberdeen! hes not to happy reading his posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou saban Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Re: PokerPlayer Betfair Grand Prix III got my email, me and mike definately going :nana :nana :nana . not sure how we are gonna get down there yet, probably train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I' date='ve only got to come from Bristol but someone on the pokerplayer forum is from Aberdeen! hes not to happy reading his posts![/quote'] Got to say this is getting a bit messy. A return train fare from Nottingham to London should (just, if I travel out of hours) be under £50, but I'm unhappy if I have to shell out another £100 getting a room for the night. With regard to partners, who knows (unless like Mike and Lou Saban you cleverly qualify:ok )? I think a mail to Dave Woods may be in order!:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goater14 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Re: PokerPlayer Betfair Grand Prix III Just had a e-mail back from betfair saying unofficialy wifes/husbands are invited but they will need to fill out the form aswell due to it being a private members club.

goater14 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Re: PokerPlayer Betfair Grand Prix III Goater that TravelLodge was it £49.00 per person? £49.00 per room, according to betfair you can take a guest but they must fill out the form aswell. May get the coach up now the £50 would only cover 1 ticket coach is only about £20.00 for both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneyivey Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Re: PokerPlayer Betfair Grand Prix III Welcome to Roy Keane- good to have you on board after several duels :ok Really looking forward to cathching up with you all in London. Only £5 for single ticket from Birmingham to London and staying at Britannia Hotel for £75 in twin room. For free food, possibly a free bar, large prize and very small field, I think £50 expenses seems ok to me. Will bring camera as well Mike! Did you cheer Morecambe at Wembley?
