OK guys.... for the 5th year (I think) it is time for the General  Betting Christmas get together.

I know the discussions have deteriorated on here a little, but feel free to come out to this event – where I am sure we will have some lively discussion fuelled by a few drinks.

Date Dec 4th
Time 6:30 onwards
Venue TBC based on numbers.

(we could also do Sandown racing that day if enough people wanted)


Confirmed.

mid week will not be possible for us mere mortals who have a day job.. friday or saturday night is possible as long as there is sufficient advance notice...

Thanks for the kind offer Ocean , the biggest problem is that a Saturday is  1/3 of the working week for me Cry

Now , if i was a millionaire like some of them on here, i could afford to some take time off Laugh

If we agree to wear Celtic shirts, that should make you feel like you have just popped down your local for a few pints, Feck..

C'mon Feck, who knows, post float we might not be on here chatting for too much longer!

Good morning, pumpkinslayer. Like you I was concerned about not being able to get a room, as you say last year was crazy.

I took a punt and booked somewhere central(ish);
Radisson Edwardian Grafton, London (Tottenham Court Road)

Booking through Hotels-London.co.uk and got a fantastic rate

Passing on details, the venue will be oxo tower or Goodmans steak restaurant. Both within a £10 cab ride of the hotel I mentioned (lots more hotels around the area too).

Thanks Muqbil,

I appreciate there are many others involved but I favour the oxo as I don't eat meat (but do eat fish) and others might be similar. Also I found the food and atmosphere there to be top notch.

I'll check out the hotel the suggested and hopefully get it booked tomorrow.

OK guys date approaching.



DURING THE DAY

Several of us are going to Sandown races that day, more are welcome.

First race 12:55

Let me know if interested and we can all catch the same train down.... 

I guess I plan to catch the 10:53 am train – which will mean we arrive on course 1 hour before the first.

(waterloo to Esher – take about 30 minutes) – happy to go to breakfast first in waterloo or Esher if people are interested.

Last race 3:30

We will catch a train back casually after the last and arrive in London prior to 5PM



EVENING

Please gather at OXO brassiere 5PM onwards, there is a nice bar there, look for the large group of eclectic un-kept men.

Dinner is booked for ‘28’ People 6PM, under “The Magician” and table needs to be returned by 8PM – so we can’t really be late.

Link http://www.harveynichols.com/restaurants/oxo-tower-london

Vegetarians and fish eater have been catered for.



LATER

I think we might head off to a casino (probably the Palms) – so we can gamble, talk and not be in some club where we can’t hear each other.



MUCH LATER – well lets see who is left – but happy to book (to ensure we can get in) a club from anyone that is keen.



OK if you need my number – email betfairprogs@gmail.com

Update from the Magician;

Guys


Less than week away – thought Sandown looks certain to be cancelled – so will not be going racing.


Note: anyone is welcome, this in NOT invite only (so horseman come along) but I have to book places – a night mare in London, see details below


Night will be as follows.


OXO tower

5pm arrive at the Oxo tower brassiere Bar for drinks

http://www.harveynichols.com/restaurants/oxo-tower-london

6pm sit for dinner ( currently booked for 28 people) but we will try and be felxable to fit any late comers, as some will cancel im sure

8pm Dinner ends – but we will continue to drink at the Bar until 9:30


Casino

At roughly 9:30 we will leave Oxo and go to the Empire Casino in leister square. I know this is not the perfect place – but we can get in, group size not important, and plenty of chance to talk, drink and maybe bet.

We are booked places for 25 people in the Icon Bar

http://www.thecasinolsq.com/bars/the-icon-bar-and-terrace/


Later..... I’m flexible, so let me know what you might be looking for.


If you need to reach me email, betfairprogs@gmail.com

I'm afraid any chance of me making an appearance has now gone. I spent the whole of last week with sore bones and sweats and ended up with a chest infection. My breathing hasn't improved any since and even if it had by Saturday the weather and recycled flight air would hardly be ideal comeback conditions.

I am travelling by train this time, less hassle overall. Hopefully not affected by the snow, it's certainly not too bad here in Yorkshire.

Actually scrub that last message! The East Coast service is in tatters at the moment with a reduced hourly service between Leeds & London.

There should be no reason for cancellation?

I am travelling from Leeds by train, a reduced service in operation but no probs.

A significant rise in temperature due overnight should see a massive improvement in conditions too.

Anyway with the pedigree of the attendees, it was all probably a case of the converted preaching to the converted.

did anyone find out why magician was banned
Report Muqbil December 11, 2010 8:11 PM GMT
Note from the Magician



Several people asking why I was banned.



Well in brief there was in issue in Australia (my home land) between a Turf club and an associate I had known for years.



In brief, he was ‘allegedly’ slandered, by the club, then a racing website and then finally a state newspaper.



On the ‘Australian Forum’ I posted factual information about know published events and progress in the ensuing (ongoing) libel case. All irrefutably provable.



Betfair Australia was sensitive to this... and banned me.



A ‘good’ reputation with Betfair UK got me unbanned... I also volunteered NOT to post on the topic until case resolved.



6 months later...  Betfair Australia, apparently conducted some joint advertising /promotion etc with said website from above. I received betfair advertisements from them, ‘special rebate/prize’ like email



I stared another thread about the involvement of the website in the above case – and how their actions where not those of a company Betfair should “get into bed with”



Betfair Australia – gave me a ‘life’ ban.



NOTES



1)      I was warned and I gave an undertaking not to comment

2)      I can prove every comment I made

3)      I cant say I don’t deserve the consequences

4)      I don’t think Betfair should protect these people

5)      But I understand Betfair cannot adjudicate every issue

6)      I was happy to sign a document placing all legal reasonability of my comments onto me not betfair



All in all I DESERVED to be banned... I was warned MULTIPLE times, and AGREED not to comment.  Sadly something developed that stopped me from keeping that agreement... (the joint 'advertsiging')



To be honest Betfair have done me a favour – as I don’t get involed in many fruitless troll like discussion here.



But I do miss some decent chats and people.



Thanks to all those that made the Christmas drinks a success... lets do summer racing in Scotland – to ensure Fecks presence.

I'd love to meet you all. I really did consider coming down this year but my health these last few weeks has been such that I'd have been hard pushed to make it if it had been in Glasgow last week.
