« on: August 09, 2007, 10:13:10 AM »
Hi All,

I"ma newbie who has decided to play my first live event in Luton later this month, forgive this daft question, but do we all need to become members of Luton Grosvenor to get in etc????

Cheers for any help.

Yes you will - remember to take some photo ID with you on the day.

You can pre-register online HERE.

This may speed things up when you arrive. As mentioned you will need to take your Passport or Photo Driving Licence with you to "confirm" your registration.

When I joined Luton they said that the pre-registration like this doesn"t speed things up. From what he said this is mainly a marketing gimmick. So as long as I wasn"t misinformed it would be better to avoid this. :)

Hi,

Do you have to go through the same registration procedure for every Grosvenor casino if you are already a member of another?  I am thinking of joining the Grosvenor Vic this weekend as it will be my home casino for the Season 2 Regional Championships.

Dunno but the online registration only lists 3 casinos Luton/Blackpool/Manchester.

At APAT Cardiff it seemed to be hit or miss as to whether you had to re-register even if you had already signed up elsewhere.

Not saying you"re wrong Jon, or that you have been misinformed. I have had it both ways at APAT events.

Aspers in Newcastle had my details ready to go on their computers. They just had to see my Licence to see that I was really me. Dublin couldn"t find me on their system (even though, I had printed the registration email)..so I guess it"s pot luck.

As for the marketing, I always make it a point to tick/untick the relevant boxes when filling in ANYTHING online.

If I miss one, I just add them to the SPAM list in my email client and "Robert"s your Father"s Brother".

Yes. You have to register the same in EVERY casino. However you can use the same card for each one :)

So, I have to register as a member of the G Casino in Luton BUT I don"t need another card as I already have one from the Grosvenor Cardiff...right?

It was the person who was doing my membership card for Luton who said it, so it may have been his experience of more like yours in Dublin rather than Newcastle.

I got a new card for Luton even though I already had a Grosvenor card - I assumed it was because of the new branding for the G casinos.

For anyone playing in the Championship - Luton also has a strict dress code of smart casual.  They won"t let you in with trainers, ripped jeans, and guys have to wear shirts with collars I think.

I seem to recall seeing this as a possible issue with previous APAT Live events but it came to nothing. I"m waiting for the Player Briefing before packing.... ;D

There is an NCP Multistorey next to the Days Inn but I have no idea of charges.

Aha....there is this. The Mellson Street site is just round the corner fom the Casino.

you need to join each grosvenor seperate if you are alread a member of a different grosvenor they can get your details from the otehr one (but still bring your id)

luton does have a strict dress code earlier this year they stopped a person in a wheelchair wearing trainers getting in, i had to check i was able to get in wearing a medical boot after injuring my foot

not sure about collars but it does seem likely
