Hi Ollie,
Having never dealt with a tourney with these amount of numbers before, I've really no idea how mental it's gonna be..

But as boards has been a vehicle that we used to promote this tournament, I'll only be too happy to oblige my fellow boards members and collect and hold the funds for the boards last longest at our fesival ME.
Most boardies should know me by now, and if they didnt meet me before, there definately gonna meet me this week.
So I'll be there, notebook in pocket.

Just 2 questions:
1)-I presume, regardless of excuse, only those paid up prior to start if tourney are eligible?
2)-I also presume this last longest is between members of boards.ie poker forum only? Or can other people enter it ie: a boardie approaches me with his last longest entry fee and one of his friends wants in as well?

Hope that helps

Connie

Hi Connie

Are you sure you want to do this? I was only tongue in cheek about it as I know you'll be up to your eyes with this event.

Questions above:

1. paid before starting
2. boards only.

If you don't want to do it Connie just say so and I'm sure we'll find someone willing.

Thanks,

Ollie

No Problem Ollie. Its the least I can do in return for the tremendous support we get from the boards community.

Ok. I'll be accepting moneys in the venue from the Thursday on. We'll get a list up on the wall once the tourney starts.

ionapaul · 29-09-2008 10:36am

Am thinking of taking the 11am train down from Dublin; can't face to drive all that way and play immediately after - is it easy to get to the INEC from the train station? Spent the 1st five years of my life in Killarney, but haven't been there in yonks and can't remember the town at all!

zuroph · 29-09-2008 11:49am

taxi, its a long walk. or pony and trap

I'd say you'll have no problem getting a bed, sleep might be another matter

Anna just Google Killarney for hotels & B&B's, there are more in this town per square mile than any other town in Ireland. Just check the distance from the Glen Eagles Hotel.

Killarney is a town not a city & everything is fairly close by & the glen Eagles is about 0.5 / 1.0 miles from town centre

fl&sh · 29-09-2008 2:59pm

the killarney oaks and the riverside hotels are only about 100m from the gleneagle.any other hotel on the muckross road will be within a mile of the venue and taxis will be about 6-8euro from anywhere in the town.

YULETIRED · 29-09-2008 3:35pm

Killarney court to the glen eagles....how far?

adzer86 · 29-09-2008 3:40pm

Most of the hotels are pretty close to the glen (Killarney is not that big).
But Killarney Court is a bit away, dont think u will be walking, its about a fiver in a taxi. Another hotel which i would recomend is the Drumhall its a 5 min walk.

Sparks43 · 29-09-2008 4:07pm

Punter Bren · 29-09-2008 4:22pm
