NEW SCHEDULE!!!

Dear Members,

Having had a major complaint from the local authority and the gambling commission following the sudden closure of the international club, we here at The Western will no longer be able to guaranteed prize pools larger than £5,000 with immediate effect.

The gaming board and council feel that these large guarantees provide a level of commercial poker beyond which we should be able to provide as a private members club, for this reason and to protect our club for our existing members, our larger tournaments will now have Estimated prize pools and will not be guaranteed.

We have always strived to comply and work in partnership with our local authority and gaming board and we will continue to do so in the future.

We hope this does not deter anyone from using our fantastic establishment, we will continue to provide excellent guarantees under £5,000 and will continue to provide a fantastic club experiance for our valued community.

Thank-you

The Western Club

What a fantastic few weeks here at The Western Club! We have seen the return of an absolute classic! The Tuesday 8:30pm £100 Classic is back!!! Now with a £5,000 Guarantee!!! Since it's return we have had 63 Runners and 59 Runners back to back, not bad for a midweek tourney!

July also saw another great guaranteed competition! The July 4th £2900 GUARANTEE saw a GUARANTEE SMASHING 185 Runners fight it out for a share of the spoils!

Next up we have the July 27th £5,000 GUARANTEE, £50 Total Buy In, 50k Chips and 30 Min Clock! Last time we ran this comp we hit 223 Runners! What will we hit this time???? Come find out!!!

Congrats to Nik Stylianou and Robin Dhinsa who chopped the £15,000 Guaranteed Main Event taking £4500 each!

Nik was the eventual winner as the pair played out the final to it's conclusion.

185 Runners in total took part in Days 1A and 1B swelling the prize pool to £18,500 (+ £4625 in Bounties) Smashing the £15,000 Guarantee!!!!

41 Runners made it to the final and after 7 hours of play our winners emerged victorious!!!

There was also a huge buzz in the club after the announcement that The Western Club will be holding their first £100,000 GUARANTEED Grand-Prix in December!!!

RIGHT...enough Wizard of Oz jokes...back to business!!!

Last night The Western Club hosted the SHARKS vs. TUNA £3000 GUARANTEE, with a £30 Buy In and a 30 Minute clock this was a tasty comp not to be missed!

The weather did it's best to mess up our best laid plans as the beer gardens were full and the smell of bbq's was in the air. But even with this competition from the best mother nature had to offer the club was packed!!!

145 runners in total played this great gimmick tourney where you had to choose to be a SHARK (rock) or a TUNA (fish) for a chance to win some side prizes $25 if a shark made the final table and $250 if a tuna won the whole thing!!

The comp was eventually chopped in the early hours of the morning by Paul Wimbledon and Raphael Augustin both taking £1090 each and Paul taking the $250 with his overall chip lead.

Again our special guaranteed event was a fantastic night, with great feedback from players.

This was our sixth special event this year with over ONE THOUSAND runners competing over the six tourneys!

Remember our next event is the SUMMER SLAMMER £15,000 GUARANTEE!!!

Don't miss out!!!

Holy awesomeness batman!!!! The 'May the 4th be with you' £4000 Star Wars inspired Guarantee was a huge success!!! 

Congratulations went to Tony 'Taxi' Zammit who chopped 1st place with Qam!

The Guarantee was smashed inside of 10 minutes as 175 runners descended on to The Western Club for this fantastic tourney!!!

Luckily enough we had extra security in the form of two Imperial Stormtroopers in the club making sure things ran smoothly!!!

The final number of runners was 223 with a prize pool of £8,920, The house then added a further £80 rounding the prize pool up to £9,000!!!! More than twice the original guarantee!!! Not bad for a £48 buy in!!!

Thank-you to all who played and well done to all who cashed!!! (Full Results to follow.)

Our next special guaranteed event takes place on Wednesday May 23rd 8:30pm.

Sharks vs. Tunas

£3000 GUARANTEED

£30 + £3 20,000 Chips

(+Opt £5 for 10,000 bonus chips)

30 Minute Clock

Well, another fantastic turn out for the £2500 'Giant Pony' Guarantee! We didn't hit the 198 of the two previous tourney's but considering we were missing lots of football fans watching the Chelsea vs. Barca Game (even though it was shown on 5 HD Tv's in the club) we still hit a whopping 134 runners!!!

The £2500 Guarantee was soon eclipsed and the final prize pool was £3350 with £1106 going to 1st place!!! Not bad for a £25 tourney! The eventual winner was Staggy, a regular club member who deservedly took down the big money with pocket Jacks! A big Western club thank-you to all who joined us for this great tourney and well done to all who cashed!

We will be hosting these UNCONDITIONAL SPECIAL EVENT GUARANTEES every month and our MAIN EVENTS every quarter!!! The next special event details are below, Don't miss out!!!

Don't miss out on this awesome £2500 GUARANTEE - Wednesday 18th April at 8:30pm!!!

This is the first monthly special event since our fantastic SPRING £15,000 GUARANTEE which saw 198 runners and a prizepool of £24,000!!!! Of course before that main event we had our LEAP YEAR GUARANTEE which also got 198 runners!!! Will we get 198 again???? Come find out!!!

WOWZERS........The Leap Year GUARANTEE has actually blown me away with its response, The Western Club is known as a late starting club unfortunately and no matter what we do to try and remedy this, we always seem to get late runners....

Well.....The £2900 Guaranteed leap year tourney 29...29...29...29 etc etc was due to start at 8:30pm as per our evening tournaments, I was hugely confident it would be a success due to its awesome value and structure (my own brainchild...) BUT....shock horror.....8:20pm....25 people.....arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Then it happened....

People.....More People......wave upon wave of hungry poker fanatics......phew......

Nope...no phew......now we are OVER subscribed! I find myself carrying table after table....chair after chair trying to get everyone seated as quickly as possible.....i'm sweating....burning calories during a weeks worth of exercise for me crammed in to an hour!

Final total...198 Registrations....160+ Members & Guests in the club!

Plus 3xMembers cash games full, 2xKalooki games full, Both Snooker tables full with waiting lists!

6 flat screen tv's showing the England game and even the table football was packed!!!

A fantastic event that i'm sure will return!
