    Thanks for the update - I interpret "your stack will go into play when you arrive" as you won't get blinded down. 

    If that's the case, how late can you leave it? Can somebody give me a call when the bubble bursts?

    lol i meant for arrivals in the first few levels, late reg is open for 3 levels so 4.15pm.

    If you know you are arriving later than that let me know, or leave a message in the card-room.

    Obviously we'll have to put a time limit on it, you can't just show up on the bubble on Sunday afternoon!

    Just spoke to the casino

    In the absence of Photo ID you need

    1 Bank statement from within the last three months and the card attached to the account
    2 Utility bill from within last three months

    Any concerns, ring them on 0208 536 5636, explain what you have and see if that is ok

    TFL site - there's no Central line to Stratford this weekend for engineering works. Also, one of the DLR lines is out.

    They take the lobby down as they have to give the names to the casino

    There is a huge car park at Westfield Shopping Centre (Aspers is above the shops)
