Hi Colin,
I honestly don't know, & to the best of my knowledge, I don't think Sky Poker have made a decision yet. There is a whole lot of stuff going off right now, but I do keep nagging them - such as I dare - to make a clear decision.
For the record, they have NOT ruled out doing them again, & some tentative & provisional plans were being discussed a month or two ago, but, with everything being so busy right now, I've not chased them since about it.
I do make a bit of a nuisance of myself with these things, & I sense they get a little tired of my constant questions, but if I hear anything, I'll let you know.
I'm pretty sure there will not be a full "SPT Tour" again, as we had previously, because other stuff has proven itself to be more cost-effective for the site, UKPC etc.
However, the recent discussions centred around maybe 2 or 3 SPT's per year.
There was also a discussion - still ongoing - about a sort of one-off, & affordable, SPT-type thing. That discussion continues, with the Venue, so I'd rather not comment further on that right now.
I really could not guess if they will happen though.
Nothing to stop the Community organising get-togethers though, & if available (& invited/welcome) I'd certainly try & attend.
Hi Tony and Colin,
Michael ( DTWBandit ) and I are currently finalising details for a " Sky Poker Community " get together in Newcastle on 20/21 March 2015.
Neil Strike will be approaching the 3 main casinos in Newcastle , shortly, to see which one can best accommodate us.We are looking at a buy in of £50+? ,with possibly one re entry ,with the tournament to start Saturday afternoon
All in the community are welcome and it would be great to see as many as possible attend and rekindle old friendships and make new ones .
Tony it would be fantastic if could make it and I hope you are able to find a window in your busy schedule and join us all in Newcastle.
As soon as we have more information I will post up here .
regards
Duncan
Shift this to the Poker Chat section so you can get an idea of numbers.
Yes please see details above , this event is confirmed at Aspers Newcastle ,I will be speaking with the card room manager this week to arrange reg details.
I appreciate that this event is scheduled to take place shortly after the UKPC however it is clearly aimed at many in the community who will find a buy in of £50 more easily affordable.
I will shortly open up a registration thread but in the meantime if anyone has any questions please ask.
I would look forward to having a bit of fun and banter, and maybe a few beers, along with playing poker for the weekend.
Long live the Sky Poker Community Tour.
