Money is tight at the moment, so when you add the travelling and hotel costs then I would have to make the final 6 to make a profit. I know theses weekends are not just about the poker but when money is tight then I have to stop at home. Plus I"m playing absolutely crap at the moment. Going to a local casino to try and play my way out of it. £20 game with a 3k+ for first place

Is this schedule finalized, should we book hotels?

I think that was the point Steve.

BTW...If you can hold fire until after Cardiff, I have the Travel Tips thread for DTD ready to go.

Cool, cheers mate.

Whilst I am normally an avid follower of the advice given in Travel Tips, in Nottingham I just tend to stay in the Premier Inn as it"s a perfect location. You can walk to DTD if the weather is nice and a taxi back is nice and cheap.

I just booked it arriving on 25th and leaving on 28th with breakfast for £185 (prepaid). That will do nicely :-)

The travel tips for Cork on the other hand I will most certainly be referring too.

EDIT: Whilst we are there is there any chance of "APAT: The Cash Game". It has been mentioned in the past and there was a suggestion of doing it at DTD. If there is enough interest maybe we could ask DTD for a table?

Not bad deal if you want breakfast, which I usually don"t, as I"m usually...ahem...delicate in the morning.

I"ve got the Holiday Inn for 2 nights at £38 a night (Fri / Sat) and then PI for £39 a night (Sun / Mon).

Tips coming up now that I have mine booked.

Shame you"re in that spot at the mo & we won"t be seeing you in Cardiff Wayne, hope you get a bit of run good sometime soon and make up for it mate

No Team France this year ?

Still in discussion with a number of countries, including France.  Unfortunately Jean-Michel and Franck will not be in attendance in August.

They"ll be missed...... but it makes the competition just that little bit easier for the rest!!

I don"t think the French Poker Federation will see it that way

As in playing an EPT event in the Bahamas and European golf tour events in Dubai etc... I know its not the same thing but...

Just seems a shame that the title of this team championship excludes just one team from the usual suspects and they did bring a lot to the party
