Multiple day 1s has been suggested....the issue is our players having to take weekdays off work..but not insurmountable

Every tournament might not need to have multiple day 1's if there's another way of sorting out the registration, but I would have thought that the UK, European and World Championships were going to be bigger events, So I think if people were in these tournaments they would be able to justify (to themselves at least) taking time off work.

One for all the Star wars fans

 

Not got a seat so a bit gutted as the structure looks great and I've never played at Broadway before, oh well Good luck to those who got in.

Anyone know where the next couple of heats will be held?

I assume a draw for those seats as well (Downside of being popular I guess is no cardroom is large enough to hold a APAT event).

The schedule is on APAT's website - http://www.apat.com/schedule.html - but venues are TBC so it's only a general guide.

[wants]

Between the 3 you made the right choice, the closest is Thistle on Hagley road but its a bit of a dive, but does the job.

If anybody does look on LastMinute.com and wants the Thistle on Hagley road - it's the hotel that come's up under 'Top Secret hotels'

All down to cost - lastminute.com has the Copthorne and 2 Thistle's, but not the Marriott. 

 

I'm going!

I've booked the Copthorne Hotel - does anybody know anything about it?

I had a quick google for it, drinking water and sleeping a lot seems to be the only recommendation out there.

it's more the can't be arsed to go to the shops thing I think

The last thing I bought from e-bay was a Georgian Gaming Counter - that was from an antiques shop in Cambridge, and I definitely couldn't be arsed to go that far, the travel would cost more than the product.

Doesn't look they've scheduled a UK release for it.

I've just noticed that Drew Barrymore's poker film has got it's own official site now - http://www2.warnerbros.com/luckyyou/ - there's probably some other people in it as well, but I don't consider them worth mentioning.

The official site has only got a trailer on at the moment and although I have complete faith in Ms Barrymore's ability I'm a bit wary now I've seen the trailer. The release date has been put back twice already for this film so that they can tinker with it and I'm not entirely sure they've got it right now.

The draw is at midday and they'll send emails out at 8.

8 hours - Why such a big gap?

probably because most of the APAT people have full time jobs thus the emails get sent when home from work etc

Fair enough

The draw is at midday and they'll send emails out at 8.

8 hours - Why such a big gap?

boomarang has started playing the racoons this week.i loved that when i was younger.but my all time favourite has to be
BANNAMAN.classic

Blimey if your going to describe a superhero dressed as the all time worlds greatest fruit - at least get it right

mmmmmm bananas.....

And there I was thinking that they'd made a cartoon version of this - http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/catherine-cookson/bannaman-legacy.htm   

I had a look at it from the other angle - Spiral's real name is Glen Coroner. Does that help?
