Good Morning Everyone, I am hosting a small poker tournament in aid of the protesters arrested at the Shannon airport for their actions in support of the peace movement.

If you are either:

a) Interested in helping these people
b) Interested in poker
c) Dutch Then you should definitely come along.

We'll be playing Texas Hold Em and don't worry if you are a beginner (or even if you've never played before) - just turn up at 8 for a quick tutorial.

When: Wednesday the 11th of June
Where: The Teachers Club
What time 8.30
How Much: 15 Euro's (Half will go to the Protestors - Half to the Prize fund)

Directions: From O'Connell Bridge: Head to the top of O'Connell St, (Beside the ambassador) and turn left. Walk twenty feet and then turn right.
You should be on Parnell Square West. Half way up on the left is the Teachers club,it has a blue light outside and has a sign: Club na Muntoeori.

but if its for the CW posse - don't they see gambling as a vice? ;-P So do I actually - except the two Grand Nationals - and the odd night out at the dog track.

Anyway, good luck.

Catholics? See gambling as a vice???

Let me give you five letters: B-I-N-G-O

It's protestants who have traditionally been against gambling and drinking.

Get along to the poker night and support those facing the courts.
