Hi Brendan,

At a concert at the moment, but can confirm tomorrow"s event is sold out.  It"s been closed off on the home page.

Hope to see you at the next one in July.

Cheers,

Des.

I can say that it is certainly worth attending this, had a grand day of tuition and inspiration that cleared away some cobwebs.

Thanks to APAt for getting these organised and to DTD for supplying the talented tuition.

Well worth the time and expense, it turned a donkey like me into someone who nearly cashed! I bubbled the £50 tournament (despite being top three in chips with 15 left, 14 paid). Kicking myself as the player pushed all-in, then got up, left the table and started walking around. Like the idiot I am i still called!

I had a great day on Saturday, picked up some really useful info.

However, I got knocked out of the tournament in the 2nd hand! :( I was holding 88 for the middle card in a straight, thought there was no way the other guy could have an 8 as well, turns out he had 8J for a straight one higher than mine!

Argh...

Yes, a terrific day organised by APAT. To simply see Paul Jackson, Julian Thew and Simon Trumper and the enthusiasm that they still have for the game acted as inspiration alone.
The content was extremely good. The setting was pleasant in the VIP area, food also very nice and well presented, and considering that this was the first Live day academy, anyone who is considering attending in the future definately                  WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.  :)

I didn"t get to play, however what a splendid venue, I will return to play soon.

Seriously great day and excellent Value, Listening to these guys or reading books???

Yes I went and had a great day, even the duck learnt some new tricks.......the highlight for me was definately the lasagne I had at dinnertime.......it was sooooooo delicious and I even managed to eat ALL my chips.
Anyway all the instructors were fantastic and the Dusk Till Dawn venue was amazing........it was my 1st time there and i"ll definately be going again.
I played the £50 tourney that night and even managed to cash finishing 13th
GO DUCK!!!!!!!

Hey Neil "n" Billy, you"ll have to face me at some point...If You want final table action???? ;) ;D

Nah just kidding, to quote Paul jackson, "I"m confused now, my heads full of too much s#@t !!!" Keep it simple, yes simple like me b4 you start posting Hehe. ::)

Shame for you two, Santino and the others up north who would like to attend.
I wonder if there were enough participants, whether they would be able to hold a day up north???

Well done Darthclubs, Your cash out in the £50 freezeout was the icing on the cake.Very nice.
Sorry Donkbox, very well done on the bubble also, gotta laugh at the call, guy walking off though, but Trumper did it twice, so i think were allowed a bad one now and again.
Catch you"s later......

I don"t think that should be an issue. It"s like going to Vegas - you put in extra effort to go do things like this! I"d happily make my way to DTD for it, and not just because I haven"t been yet. I"m sure Santino and Billy would too.

When we do get around to getting our much talked about weekend trip to DTD arranged, it would be great if we could manage to do it when such a day is being run. I"ll be keeping an eye on the schedules.
