Pain in the arse getting a visa for Russia isnt it? Hope they both have one....

although why bother going all that way for a £700 first prize?

Bit embarrassing if none of the UK players win both men’s events
Losing to some ruski nobodies

Lose in the semi and it’s about £180
Depending on exchange rates obvs
Fuck going out there

Lovely city St Petersburg.
One off the list for polar steps.
Greta would be proud.

Why, are "Warby" and John Scott planning to take land transport to get there?

I am not attending due to the extortionate costs of obtaining a VISA

[Ginge]

Going all that way for a potential £700 first prize didnt put you off to begin with then?

Not really... flight was around £40, hotel £120 for four nights and would have had a day off on the Friday to visit the city

Also, if you win them both and it's 2x £700

[Ginge]

Hope they were refundable then!

A family yacht excursion.

The hotel was, and for £30 I was able to change the flight to use for Romania in January instead

Don't let a young girl raising awareness get in the way of your egos.............

[Ginge]

How are you getting to Vegas next time, mate?

Don't make it right Ninge. Science is the way to go, we have a problem and we need to fix it. No good having a go at a young girl to make us feel better for our failures......

No it isn’t

Aye its about £1250 total once you account for the margin on the exchange rate.

Anyway, I like how they put a black shirted Russian on the flyer. A nice touch. Wayne Baker would be pleased.

Aye Ginge.

John posts for the first time in ages on the forum to answer your question directly, yet all you are interested in is being pedantic. What a surprise.
