As some of you know, my wife has recently had surgery, there was always a slight chance of me being able to be at York, however her recouperation has not been as speedy as we`d have liked. It`s nothing serious but it does mean she has to take things very, very easy for a while longer.

Sorry to hear that mate I hope she makes a speedy recovery

It would have been good to meet you and Tulenos at York, but maybe it'll happen next time

[Punto83]

Really looking forward to Friday

Couple of questions, well three

What time is everyone meeting in Leeds and where?Take it at your hotel? I can get there anytime so if you getting on the jars early doors I'll be there

Also... Only been to races once and that was at Beverly, any dress code for the fella's (yes, pen talking about what I'm wearing ). Don't wanna come suited and booted for no reason! Take it trainers are a no no?

Rest assured, there will be "early jars".

Dress Code:

Dress

There is no dress code but for the May and Ebor Meetings generally people dress up. Racegoers are required to dress decently

I'll put all the details in full and simple english shortly so everyone knows what the times of things are etc...

Weekend Info & Itinerary

Hotel: The Merrion Centre, Wade Lane, Leeds, LS2 8NH - 0113 243 9191
Rooms: All booked under your own personal name, not PL.
Check in: 2pm
Check out: Whenever you want, bill will be paid by PL, they know this already.

Thursday:

I'll arrive with a few other loons at about 1:30pm into Leeds station, quick check in, then we hit the bar, think they have 2 bars, but I'm sure you'll be able to tell which we're in.

8pm

AMF Bowling

We start bowling just across from the hotel, it's not the trocadero, but hey you can't have everything.

Teams to come.

After that, who knows what's gonna happen, don't ask me!

Friday:

11:30am: Coach leaves Merrion Hotel for York racecourse and will arrive around 12:15pm.

York Races:

Tickets: I'll leave these wherever the guys at the gate say is the usual place, that's if you're meeting at the course.

Dress Code:

There is no dress code but for the May and Ebor Meetings generally people dress up. Racegoers are required to dress decently. (From their website)

Bit in the middle: We all get alarmingly drunk and rely on Tez to come up with some profit from the horses.

6pm

Coach leaves York racecourse and heads back to Merrion Hotel.

7pm

We've hired "The Beaumont Room" out for a poker night. Some of you will disappear into town probably, but quite a lot playing.

There will be a bar and a finger buffet also in the room, drinks will again be paid for by PL.

8pm

Poker starts, we'll wait a little for any latecomers though.

Who knows how long the poker will last, but there is one very important thing you must all be aware of if playing in the poker.

You must not put money on the table or it could all end right there and then as the hotel doesn't have a licence to cover it. We'll deal with the money discreetly on each table.

Poker Setup:

Based on 25 players:

Starting Stacks: 3000
Blinds: 25/50 (Based on the chips we have) raised every 20 minutes.
Buyin: £10
Start Time: 8pm (ish)

Saturday:

Most go home to rest, but quite a few loons, me included are going to Newcastle for another poker night!

Sunday:

I'll deal with that when it arrives, if I'm still alive.

[Penelopeys]

Paul... this is going to be a FABULOUS weekend...

I can't wait to go...

[Paul Ross]

Ok, can someone put the numbers 1-17 in a mixed up order for the bowling teams. ie

17
2
4
etc..

Of the players that were there last time, I think these 3 were highest, so they're separated as seeds. The rest go in on display of the numbers 1-17.
