Bank Holidays at DTD
Well not DTD as such, every Bank Holiday on Lenton Industrial Park ( home of UK’s Poker Mecca Dusk Till Dawn) there is action. Not just poker action either, the club next door ISIS has a kind of tradition, Bank Holiday Rythmn and Blues night. This is a known trouble spot on Bank Holidays, so much so that they don’t open their own car park and taxi’s refuse to pick anyone up from there, leaving huge crowds outside stranded and drunk at kicking out time. Nottingham City Council should IMO address this situation as soon as possible. Maybe this weekend will make them look at this hotspot a bit more seriously as two people lay seriously injured in hospital after being stabbed. The stabbings happened at 3.50am Monday morning, the same time as the majority of people are leaving Dusk till Dawn.
Please don’t get me wrong, there was no overspill into DTD’s car park and all patrons of DTD were safe, but it is daunting to know you are leaving a club with a sizable amount in your pocket, and there are a large amount of groups hanging around not too far away. Actually exiting the car park is the biggest risk as nightclubbers block the road, whilst they are having their minor skirmishes or friendly chats, although the police presence was huge.

The APAT championships had been held at DTD all weekend, and the event was a resounding success. I just hope that those players who had never been before think it is the norm! It definitely is not!

Got something to say?
WOW
Someone was watching over us, Helen and I left DTD at just about 3.50am after I took first place in a regular tournament.
Had a sizeable wedge in my pocket too !
Seriously though, this really needs to be sorted, not only because of the danger to DTD customers and staff but also as I would hate for the general populace to start associating my second home as a troublespot.
Last thing Rob needs IMO.
Its the only thing that makes me want to play poker at DTD. I love a rumble squash.
