-you don't have to be a Virgin SPT'r to join -
If you are a fellow SPT Virgin like me or not than post in here.....no need to be lonely at an SPT. It can be quite daunting going to an SPT for the 1st time espcially if your going on your Jack Jones, so post in here if you want to be part of this SPT Nottingham group. I myself will be going down Friday early evening and meeting up with some Sky regs at DTD or possibly at a pub but in true Sky style - the more the merrier.
Come down join in, don't be shy and don't be a stranger.
NOBODY IS LEFT BEHIND AT AN SPT !
Event info
The structure of the main event is as follows30,000 chips, 40 minute clock
blind levels as the "Festival Structure" on http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/tournamentstructure.php
14-15 levels on day one
starts 2pm Saturday and finishes mid to late evening Sunday, depending on number of runners
Don't forget you need to become a member of DTD, sign up through the website and then produce photo id such as driving licese, passort at DTD on arrival and they will give you a shiny membership card. You need this to be able to play.

I've got my hotel booked just no seat yet, will be buying in direct if I don't get round to it though.
Not a bad place to stay, price is good - but no breakfast
Thinking about it - probs no point bringing laptop - going to be spending all weekend at DTD so....
Don't think I am that confident in booking 3 nights though, even 2 nights was being slightly optimistic)
hope to see ya there
yo Flash - ya I be going down Friday so will be spending most of the time in the DTD playing whaever and only sleeping at the hotel so no downtime for the lappy I guess.
I'll be putting you in my fantasy league team, WITHOUT DOUBT!!!!
Hi rancid
Good luck mate in Nottingham - I stayed in Birmingham - first time I stayed over for an spt and it was superb, if anything I drank far to much and it was like your first holiday away from the parents as a teenager.
The atmosphere and the the whole community are amazing and friendly and it makes it much more personal when you play the players online after as you can actually recognise them from having a drink with them on an spt - excellent people and meeting the sky presenters was an absolute pleasure - still trying to qualify for Notts, but will be going regardless and buy in direct if needed, alongside the side events makes it an amazing weekend.
Good luck mate - see you at the bar!!!!

Going to be a lot of Sky people at DTD on Friday night drinking and playing.
Nothing been finilaised but there may be a meet at the bar inside DTD or pub in the city centre or something community based.
Either way I'll keep people informed if you want to join my SPT Virgin group )
Well group is open to both sat qualifiers and direct buy ins - but you gotta be a virgin SPT'r.
If you do qualify....you get to buy me a pint
if anyone staying here give me a shout...... YO!

Also it's not designed to encourage women or men to meet strangers from the internet in bars for drinks !

Just a question for the masses.
If your not part of one of the teams and it's your first SPT how are you welcomed into the mass community appeal that is Sky poker.
Is it like speed dating where everyone is walking around looking at name badges trying to identify who is who.
Intrigued.....
OR chances are you'll recognise someone yourself, like you'll know what Tommy looks like or w.e, then u can just say hello and job's a good 'un.
As I am going by myself, it'd be nice to be included in any sort of drinking venture on the Friday/Saturday so I can meet people and make the most of my trek up north.
I haven't booked accomodation yet so i'll have to look into that.
And I also didnt know you had to be a member of DTD to play! Will have to get on that too!
Looking forward to it.
Then they can join this group of like minded souls and all meet up together if people so wish.
Rarther than just turning up and feeling like a melon on your own at the bar waiting for someone to come up to you and say hello or maybe they feel a bit awkward walking up to strangers in a bar.
I am sure everyone at the SPT will be very nice and welcoming but with so many people knowing each other already it may be case of newcomers feeling a bit isolated. - hence the group.
Plus I was planning on avoiding you to be honest Paul......but now you know what I look like I guess I got no chance
Anywayz a couple of pints with your name on at the bar when I see ya....

It's not big but it may get bigger......I'll pm group details of any planned meets for Friday at DTD or elsewhere
The idea being if your going Friday then we can meet up with some other Sky regs on the Friday evening
If your coming on the Saturday, then it will be around mid morning on the Saturday we can meet at DTD
Then we will meet everyone else and have a right old jolly up!
If anyone wants adding to the group then post here...and I'll add you....
