The calm before the storm....my favourite time. 

The work is largely done and a weekend full of expectation awaits.  As I write, players are travelling to Manchester from all over the UK. 

Now to see who"s weekend it is.....

Live update:  Saturday December 8th, from 2.30pm

Post your request for player chipcounts and pictures here and stay with us over the weekend as the drama unfolds.

Will we be crowning a new United Kingdom Champion on Sunday evening, or can Max Ward retain the title he won at Aspers Casino one year ago?

Here is the place to get updates. However, we are having severe technical difficulty in that nobody was assigned an ID...so we have no idea who is who!

Can anybody asking for specific people please be as descriptive as possible/put a pic up, as I barely know any of the players and as such, have no idea who I"m looking for.

Thank you!

Alan Lake is OUT.

Sadly, my hearing is also gone. Thank you, person-who-claims-to-be-a-singer providing the live entertainment tonight.
