Any clues as to the when yet?

I've missed the last 3 due to double bookings, and I see the next one is expected in August....there are 2 bad weekends for then, one on holiday, and the other immediately after my impending vasectomy (gulp, but 4 kids enough I feel lol).

Nailed on to be one of these weekends, question is will I be allowed to bring a an inflatable ring to sit on if it after the snip? I will also need a steady supply of crushed ice.

I can only suggest you keep an eye on APAt's own forum around Thursday.

Consensus at Rumour Central is that it will be August Bank Holiday Weekend...hopefully with 2x Day 1 (Sat/Sun) with the Final Table(s) on Monday.

Nothing set in stone yet but..there you go.

We are hoping to announce later this week, on the APAT site and forum


Apologies for the delay, due to contractual negotiations with sponsors..due to be concluded this week

No problem tighty, understand fully how difficult these must be to organise.
But bank holiday weekend would be sweet (and less painfull).

yes that is the plan


the press release is written, everything is set..just need the green light

Forgive me but the actual details need to wait....its not ideal as time is short but we have to get everything signed and sealed


What I will say is that plans for Season 2 have me completely blown away...exciting times ahead for APATers

Whatever date is announced, I feel that it is going to be at too short of notice to the members.

No problem with sorting the venues, but we should know actually when it is going to be staged.

I know from speaking to Des in the past I know that he, and the rest of the APAT Team, are concerned with the amount of notice given and am certain that this is something that they are addressing from Season 2 and beyond.

From the APAT Forums...



and...

Hmmm, think I'll hold off turning pro for a bit then ;-)

 Bank Holiday weekend is fine..........as long as its Poland :)


....oh well another APAT missed!

Spain would be better..................just got sick of being rained on, therefore booked an holiday that weekend. Funny thing is I only booked it yesterday, because my diary was clear, no mention of APAT at all !!!!!

Poker player magazine has it down for the bank holiday weekend at Luton.

Must be true then, just waiting for Des to confirm. :)

...tippety, tappety, click, click [/hotel room booked]

can you get me a cheap flight while your at it the prices are allready rising

From the APAT boards...
Only kidding about the room...but I'll pop some links up in a tick..

[EDIT] Here we are:

Hotels nearby:

Days Inn, Luton (http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/control/Booking/check_avail?brandCode=DI,MQ,HJ,KG,RA,SE,TL,BU&searchWithinMiles=25&areaType=1&destination=Luton&stateName=N/A&state=NA&countryName=United%20Kingdom&country=GB&checkInDate=&numberAdults=2&numberRooms=1&checkOutDate=&numberChildren=0&rateName=Best%20Avail&rate=000&id=15136&propBrandId=DI&force_nostay=true) - £75 per night (single/twin) looks to be closest.
Premier Travel Inn - Luton (http://www.premiertravelinn.com/pti/hotelInformation.do?hotelId=23862) - £54 per night (single/twin)

Both indicate that they may be suitable for your needs, Ironside...you'd have to check.

Now....where are you flying from? Somewhere up north isn't it?

Yeh seen it in pokerplayer too,

but im more interested in entry method rather than dates and venues.

Can you tell us that bit at least??????

This is true, if I could be sure that there are enough places available through a direct buy-in then I could book the travel and accommodation - but if loads of places are going to go through satellites then I can't be so certain of getting a seat.

Another one I won't be able to make, but liking the sound of the promising news for next season!

If I knew, I would (subject to Des telling me it was OK, which typically, he can't...contracts and all that, don't you know).

If what I have gathered is true..[UNCONFIRMED RUMOUR ALERT] the total field could be substantially higher than any previous events. Think nearer 400/500 than 100/200.  Should be enough room for all types of entry but this is, as I said, just what I have gathered from a variety of sources and is second hand rumour at best.

I guess, like me, you'll have to wait for the end of the week.

Sorry about the inconvenience everyone, but we cannot say a great deal more about the event until the announcement comes out towards the end of the week.  I can state however, that it will not be a 400 to 500 runner event.   

cheers paullie i have sataying in the days twice but it all depends on where the event is it might yet be in the orkneys (there in europe right?)

if its luton i will fly in from aberdeen or inverness depends on if its a 2 or 3 day comp and if i can play on the sunday rather than the saturday

no matter which  though the price starts going up after you break the 5 week to go barrier so i am hoping i can get a place soon so i can secure a cheapish flight

Poker Player magazine does seem very certain of the details and that would have gone to print a couple of weeks ago

Des do you still send emails out not had one of apat for months

I think they do yeh, last one i received though was on the 25th May, saying about the launch of the APAT Forum. Dont think there has been one since as nothing has had to be announced.

There are details above and beyond what PokerPlayer printed, that will be confirmed later this week Andrew.  The weekend and the venue are not in question.

KP is right Al, we have held off doing a group wide email in July until we could address the last two tournaments of the season.  In addition, the newsletter is updated on the APAT site after every online event.  You can expect an email shortly  :D

No problem Des

In fact, noticing the info about Luton in the mag has given me the kick up the arse to finally join APAT, so I may well see you in Luton.

i will be away as well.  :(

no, but we are happy to announce that the winner of the APAT European event will take a free West London bus pass....no WSOPE seat holder should be without one  :D

So, there you have it...I..OFFICIALLY...know nothing !

does Tikay know you've stolen his bus pass?

When i win do i have to change my name to Tony Kendall?

 ;bump;

Can you tell us the details yet, surely its near enough to the end of the week now  ;D

PR, DIY Tighty-Stylee

This is a little bit like when I used to watch Batman on a Saturday morning at the cinema.....................you just have to wait for the next installment.

TO BE READ IN THE VOICE OF TED (mr snooker) LOWE

The tension is high as you wait for the next announcement, the all important timing, the all important date, the all important venue ( will it seat upwards of 120 ) or will there be a clickfest, or lottery, or sweep.

PASS ME THE *********** VALIUM

It seats upwards of 120....

relax....

Only if you bring it to Nerja, because I'm on holiday!!!!!

What an AMAZING coincidence......

can i fly direct from aberdeen or inverness to Nerja?  ;D

No airport at Nerja, but Malaga would be happy to accomodate the Ironside !!

Heads up on the beach with TK and Foggy
