[Monday 10th January, and those 8 players MUST buy in on PartyPoker online holding tank by Friday 14th January for £120]

Admin time having spoken to the APAT guys running the event.

Shirts will be £15 per shirt and APAT will source them for us to make my life easier (they've been doing this for some time now and are suitable). If players want more than one shirt then let me know and I'll check with Tom Brady whether this is possible, albeit I can't see why not!

We need to have a team of 8 names sent to them by Monday 10th January, and those 8 players MUST buy in on PartyPoker online holding tank by Friday 14th January for £120. If you can't, then a 3rd party can buy in for you using PP, but I need all of those details.

So, still, everyone declaring available? I'll put a hard cap on it. If you can't play, please post in here by next Monday (3rd) so I can source replacements.

Anyone on that list who doesnt want to be on it any more?

Right, so, here goes. In order of posting:

4Ksuited said if we were short by mid-Jan he might be able to swing something with work so I havent put him in the list for now.

OK cheers, will take Pete off the list and await Derek. Think I'm just gonna go for first come first served, whether that be here or fb and confirm with the original 8 before asking anyone else, as that seems fairest.

Yep. We're in. Will compile an interest list tonight when home from work. A couple of people have messaged me on FB so need to add them as well to the list.

I'm still waiting to hear if we're in.

Sadly I don't have anyone on social media any more but I saw you'd put something on FB, cheers!

Application submitted.

Anyone else interested?

I hadn't seen the FB post. Stupid bloody notifications going haywire.

Messaging Tom now.

When applications are open I will request a team and take it from there.

Whilst we dust ourselves down and look ahead to 2022, 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗧 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 as we move beyond the virtual felt to return to live action with APAT re-launching with our ever popular UK Team Championship over the weekend of Friday 11th February at the home of UK poker, Dusk Till Dawn.

Beyond this, plans include a PLO variant as a main Championship event abroad in warmer climates, WCOAP in August, and further afield look to end the year with another popular team event - the UK County Championship.  Our usual buyin of €100+€20 will become the norm, including UK (£s) as we work with operators and venues to reunite the #apatfamily - it's been too long!  

We're so very much looking forward to having APAT back on the live poker circuit, and can't wait to see you on the APAT felt throughout 2022 - obviously subject to whatever Covid or other rules are in place, but rest assured whatever comes our way, any pre-registration buyins via APAT will always be safe and refundable - just plan accordingly for everything else!

We're sure you'll all appreciate that at this early stage in planning for 2022 we still have much to confirm, but as we do so, we'll release details to allow as much notice as possible - this will begin with full details for teams to apply for the UK Team Championship being sent out later today.

I am happy to apply for a place for blonde if people want to play? Not guaranteed we'll get one any more but can only try!

And in typical unironic fashion:

RIP. At least he went out knowing the difference between theory and reality.

The main issue with masks was the flip flopping around exemptions.

Should have made it mandatory to have your exemption certified by a doctor. Would have stopped the people claiming to have one just to avoid wearing a mask, and then hopefully would have seen society get used to them. Now you just have people fed up of "mask on, mask off" rules just saying sod it and claiming an exemption when they dont have one.

People we know are going to New York thursday
They are getting fit to travel from boots the chemist £30
Let’s see
Others I looked at yesterday £120

Thats the one I got. Worked fine for the US.
