This year Newcastle faced the disappointing news that it would not be holding a GUKPT Main Event Leg for the 2010 season. The bad news was quickly rectified with a much more affordable replacement, the GUKPT Summer Series which is similar series of events with a cheaper main event.
Newcastle will form leg 3 of the summer series alongside another series at Walsall on the same dates. The Newcastle dates are 22th-27th June with the 2 day main event on the 26th-27th June which will be held at Newcastle’s upcoming newly renovated and re branded G Casino.
