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
