APAT Tournament Director Leaves

London, February 4, 2007 – The Amateur Poker Association & Tour (“APAT”) today announced that Tournament Direct Mel Lofthouse is to leave the organisation.

Lofthouse, one of the UK’s foremost female tournament directors, has decided to make a return to her career in advertising, and will now focus on tournament directing on a part time basis.

APAT Chairman Tony Kendall said:  “As tournament director, Mel organised the tremendously successful English and United Kingdom Amateur Poker Championships.  We’ll be sorry to see her go and wish her well with her future plans.”

Mel Lofthouse added:  “I’ve enjoyed my time at APAT and wish the team well.  I have made many friends through the Association and plan to keep in touch with everyone by playing in future APAT events, where I don’t want to see anyone trying to steal my blinds!”

Every cload has a silver lining however,And i'll be looking forward to seeing you at some future event, Game keeper turned poacher,so to speak.
