New season - First night

Here we go then people. Our new season will kick-off on April 6th with a £5 re-buy and 8:00pm start. Details of this game and our other games can be found on the side bar and also the new league structure.

For our first event, we'll be adding £200 to the prize pool and there will also be a free buffet.

Apparently we've been Face-Booked too now. So if you're a Face-Bookee and want to keep up to date with our comings and goings then please search for us under the name "Windrush Valley Card Club."

See you all on April 6th.

Change we can believe in

The Cheltenham Festival game was chopped three ways, between Jimbo, Chris and myself - Dick of Little, although it's been widely accepted that I played the most awesome and so for season 2008-09, that, as they say, is all she wrote.  I do so love a happy ending.

The new season's details have yet to be thrashed out but we're due to kick off again on Monday April 6th. Our whole league structure and buy-ins are being adjusted to accommodate the financial mess America and Gordon Brown have imposed on everyone.

Essentially, we need a change people...a change we can believe in. With this in mind we'll be looking to provide games with a cheaper buy-in and our cash games will now be made available to those who aren't willing to finance their buy-ins with the sale of a kidney.

The tentative schedule is as follows:

We want to run four games - each game will be played on the same Monday every month.

1st Monday of the month - £5 re-buy
2nd Monday of the month - £25 + £25 freeze-out
3rd Monday of the month - £10 re-buy
4th Monday of the month - £30 freeze-out with buffet

Cash games will begin as the tournament breaks up and will be Texas Hold 'em with 25p-50p or 50p-£1 blinds with a maximum buy-in of £100.

There will be a re-structured league also. Hopefully the details will be finalised later this week.

Please keep checking the website, but in the meantime a German rock ballad.


Club meeting on Sunday

A meeting to discuss changes to the game choices and buy-ins will be held this Sunday before the Cheltenham game at 4pm.  Please attend if you can, even if you are not intending to play the Cheltenham game so we can have as much input as possible to make future games more appealing.  

Satellites for Sunday's main event are available from 2pm so why not make an afternoon of it?  There's nothing on telly.


Cheltenham game start time change

The start time for Sunday's (March 8th) Cheltenham festival game will now be 5:00pm instead of 2:30pm, this is so everyone has time to get back from church.  

The admin fee for the game has been reduced also to £10 from £20.  Still a £250 total buy-in but with £240 instead of £230 for the prize-pool.

Satellite's for this main event can be arranged from 2:00pm the same afternoon.  Five handed tables £50 freeze-outs.
