H i D, yes im not surprised that there are lads coming from England as it is a long weekend on these dates (28th/29th/30th/ August, in England) so we will be expecting a few more of are English players coming over for the weekend, you would be better to get in touch with the hotel yourself and quote "Poker" for the special rates, this is only a new hotel and very modern and stylish, BUT they have only 65 rooms and im afraid they wont be able to accommodate everyone but they will be dealing with another hotel close by for the same rates, so i would book now, you can ring them on 09064 44444 or e-mail info@athlonespringshotel.com or go to there web site here you should take a look, its a really nice hotel and the ballroom were all the poker action will be is fantastic, so tell your mates to tell there mates in England they better book NOW, don't say i did not warn ya.

Hi Derek, sorry mate but i am no good at remembering names but prob know your face, the reason for Athlone this year is that last year was just a stepping stone for me and i just wanted to get the name (The Midlands Poker Open) out there, and yes i did put a lot of work into it and when it came to the day i was rushed of my feet and short stacked staffed, lol

Yea i was thinking about that:rolleyes:, i really hope Eddie can make it this year he automatically got his ticket last year when he won so he can defend his title, and so will this years winner:), and yes its like a sole surviver, just another perk for the winner cos we aim to please;), i think i have a picture from last year, i will look and post soon, but yes if Eddie plays there will be a bounty on his head, sorry Eddie:o

It would be interesting to know who cares more about Irish rankings than euro rankings.

Euro rankings certainly give you a bigger field from across the water though.
