INVASION: YARM
« on: August 29, 2012, 15:32:31 PM »


The battle lines are drawn, the stage is set, the beer is the fridge and the Parma is in the deep fryer...the only question remaining for so many, is...

WHEN!?


Preferred dates please.

I would be up for this.

Can I suggest that somebody like Phil or Stu confirm a good time from the point of view of the guy"s up in Stockton as it needs to be suitable to them, and we can kind of go from there.

Also if they could recommend a decent cheap hotel near to whatever casino we decide to go and play in that would also be good.

We play our homegame on a Thursday, so nights around there are best i think :)

There are a few hotels in the area, which i am sure Paulie will be far better at telling you about than me.

The casino we frequent is the G casino Stockton.

I here they have just declared Def Con 4 in Yarm

Oh and Holdy, don"t worry, I would not have thought they have fire extinguisher"s in Yarm. It would be far more dangerous than not having them !!!!!!

We coped with Ger...

We can play at G for £2 each self deal, or £5 each dealer dealt.
At either cost we get the services of the best damned valet in existence. The legendary Duane/Dwayne who will keep up with even the most dedicated of drinkers.
If I have a reasonable bink at DTD this weekend I"ll pay for dealers, it"s a tradition I"m happy to be establishing :)

Date Suggestions:

I"m pretty open but after ChezgerFest would be better.

Perhaps early October...say Thursday 4th / Friday 5th October and get out of everyone"s hair on Saturday or Sunday?
