Looks like some of their clubs have been closed , I dont know if it effects any county venues or regional comps but I see Bracknell is on there.

Seems to be a very clever

Seems to be a very clever move. The new owners are made up of directors of the old company and they have written off poor performing venues. They should come out of this stronger now.

They are still spending

They are still spending money on the profitable clubs.

They put 8 brand new supreme tables into one of their clubs in Reading on Tuesday.

It's the Riley's in Cremyll

It's the Riley's in Cremyll road, behind the casino.

 That was the plan a while ago but it seems the committee would prefer to play elsewhere.

I think it would be good to be based in Reading

I think it would be good to be based in Reading, more central to the whole of Berkshire and maybe convert some more Fed players.
