Poker Run

What is it?

Firstly you do not have to be able to play or understand the game of Poker to attend The Poker Runs.
The poker run consists of a visit to up to 7 pubs (1 a month) - location to be chosen by 'The Poker Run' Organizers.
Dates for all 7 runs will be published in the magazine at the beginning of the season and the locations will be notified on the hotline, on the website and in the magazine as soon as they are known. (Last run not definite but due to Lake Garda will probably be 8th October.)
Those who wish to participate select a card at £1 per pub. If a card is selected that is already in a persons 'hand', that card is replaced and another selected.
A record of these cards is kept by the 'Poker Run' Organizers.
At the end of the season those who have attended all 7 pubs will have selected 7 cards.
After the seventh pub the 'hands' will be analyzed and the 3 people with the 3 best 5 card poker hands will win a share of the money collected.
Split will be 50%, 33% & 17% for 1st 2nd & 3rd places.
Even if you don't attend all 7 meetings it could be possible to win something with only 3 cards - e.g. 3 aces

I hope this all makes sense
