I"m coming from the north lol.

Seems quite straightforward if you get on the m60, off at j19.

Try google maps and get directions from there.

Dougie.

Hi Lee, you may want to check your spam filter as your email was responded as soon as we received.  You are eligible to get a refund and this will be processed after the event.  Clearly it would help us to allocate your seat to someone else if you were able to confirm your intentions as soon as possible.

Follow signs to Manchester city centre, and in particilular the MEN arena, when you get there follow signs to Burnley, Bury and Salford, and the casino is about half a mile up the road on the left.

Great work

It is really that simple!

If you want a complete idiots/foolproof/bombproof/evenmywifecouldfindit route then try this (even if it is out of the way for some)

exit M60 J17 (A56) follow signs for manchester (and not bury). Stay on this road and G casino is on your right after about 3 miles (you cannot miss it!)

Alan (RioRodent) has a very neat file that you can copy over to your sat nav (definitely TomToms, not sure about other makes) with the locations of all (well most) of the card rooms/casinos in the UK!

I"m sure he"ll post a link to it on here if someone asked nicely.

OK, it should be here - (link removed, just noticed that the G Casino Manchester location is incorrect. I"ll update the file and send it to Dan to upload) - unless Dan has deleted it.

I"ve uploaded it again, but no need really.   Does it work on other systems as well as TomToms Alan?

Not as it is... but the software that created it can save it in other formats, do you have something specific in mind?
