Will any venues with glitz and glamour still be available 7 weeks beforehand, during prime wedding season?

They probably cant, TV company will want something to show on those dates and the contract was signed on that basis.

Let's hope the TV contract didn't specify "must be held at venues with glitz and glamour", or they really are in trouble.

Even crappy WMC function rooms will be booked up with weddings.
Is the Memo Arts Centre available?

Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep
Would you believe that according to the list of events on their website, it is fully available on the dates in question?
I imagine Des would rather scoop his own eyeballs out with a piss-soaked teaspoon than go back to Sue's last-ditch desperation venue though.

They could hold it in a village hall with the amount of fans that will turn up

Do we know if Sportotal sorted that venue out last time?
Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep
This is the thing...surely they didnt. They never mentioned it on their website and it was round the corner from Sue's house, so why are they suddenly having to sort it now?Buzz Fledderjohn wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 9:34 amThat's a good point, I'd momentarily forgotten that.Ginge wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 9:30 amNot his choice by the looks of it.....Buzz Fledderjohn wrote:Would you believe that according to the list of events on their website, it is fully available on the dates in question?

Unless Sue sorting that out herself was one of the 27 "breaches".
Memo Arts Centre was named 44 days before the event (tickets went on sale 2 days later). I believe we are now at 50 days before the 2019 version?

Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep
I'd always assumed that venue was the result of Sue going rogue and bypassing Sportotal given how local it was to her, but seeing as no-one ever actually owned up to it, I wasn't sure.Ginge wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 9:36 amThis is the thing...surely they didnt.

If that is one of the 27 breaches, I'd love to have a look at that contract. Sportotal were contractually obliged to find the venue, they didn't bother so Sue sorted it herself at the last minute, and she's the one in breach.
Only she could have signed up to something like that.

If that's the criteria then there's an empty telephone box at the end of the street.

Sue found out they could get the venue for free as it was part of a council project to get local events there, so I imagine she told sportotal and they got it doneBuzz Fledderjohn wrote:I'd always assumed that venue was the result of Sue going rogue and bypassing Sportotal given how local it was to her, but seeing as no-one ever actually owned up to it, I wasn't sure.Ginge wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 9:36 amThis is the thing...surely they didnt.

Other than the World Darts Trophy being classed as a "local event", that sounds like a reasonable explanation.Zapp Brannigan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 10:27 amSue found out they could get the venue for free as it was part of a council project to get local events there, so I imagine she told sportotal and they got it doneBuzz Fledderjohn wrote:I'd always assumed that venue was the result of Sue going rogue and bypassing Sportotal given how local it was to her, but seeing as no-one ever actually owned up to it, I wasn't sure.Ginge wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 9:36 amThis is the thing...surely they didnt.
