I have just realised that I have no photo I.D but was a member at aspers casino in Newcastle does that mean I am also a member of all aspers casino.

If you are a member at Aspers Newcastle your membership card is good for
Aspers Stratford.

Oh yeah, that"s right. My mate was told to take his pokerstars flat cap off even though I saw people in there with way more volume of hair than his hat ever was!

Only in the casino part I assume?

Most casino"s let you wear a hat in the poker room

Yep you can wear your cap at the poker tables no prob

 Hello

Was thinking of playing tomororw however have missed the pew reg thingy and it"s a drive to Aspers.

Is there a cap of 60 or have I read that wrong? And if so is it a sell out.

Thanks in advance.

Finally, how casual is smart casual? I see jeans mentioned but where are we on trainers/hoodies/shorts? I"m asking for everyone else obv, I have to work till 11 tomorrow so I"ll prob be there in suit and tie.

Last month I wore jeans, smarts shoes, plain t-shirt/hoody and that was fine. Mate of mine had jeans, polo-type t-shirt and new work boots which were steel toecapped and couldn"t be worn via the front door (security guard wouldn"t let us pass) but we went in the back door (outside there is a lift which takes you to right inside the casino - feels strange walking in that way as it"s not like a proper entrance) and security there let us in no probs!

I know that doesn"t fully answer your question but might help somewhat. If in doubt, go there early and ask the guy on the door (bottom of the escalator, not at a door as such) as he"ll be one that lets you in or not.

Thanks Chris, I can see it"ll resemble a fashion show, walking up and down in different outfits till I find one that works. First attempt, the Inbetweeners Speedos......  

Kilts better be ok

Is there any significance to the capitalisation of some names in the entry lists?

yep means we are bigger fish in all seriousness I wonder if its how we joined up on APAT and maybe that"s why

No - that"s just a simple transfer via spreadsheet from either Coral or Eventbrite - so, exactly how you name appears on "that" system.

thanks ant, that is a relief.

Hi mate - I believe the cap is 50 and there are 47 registered. You can reserve a seat via the event rite facility for £2 but I don"t know how to do that. Can someone advise?

[mylesfdo]
