Certainly was Dik, enjoying the event and making day two where my main objectives and accomplished both. Also what you said about the Broadway staff was spot on, they are a tremendous team.

Nice report Kevin, It was nice to meet you and Karen over the weekend, I think the group of us that formed, early on Saturday lunchtime, all enjoyed ourselves,  except poor Bainn, who was really annoyed by his early exit... these things happen M8 don't take it to heart.

On reflection what the APAT seems to prove is that in poker, so many people come from all walks of life and get together to enjoy a game they have interest in, and can compete on a level  playing field.

Even though there is prize money involved, competitors,can share  time together as we did ,over drinks, lunch, ( All day two players and there friends were invited to a Chinese buffet on sundaycompliments of APAT) and buffets provided by the broadway, on both sat and sunday evening.

All this goes to prove that far from the degenerate lowlife bunch of layabouts some people class us poker players to be, the APAT seems to prove that this to be pure twaddle.

Thanks Brendan it was a pleasure to meet you too, you are a scholar and a gentleman (and one hell of a card player as well!). I can’t praise the APAT staff and members highly enough, as you mention there was significant prize money at stake but I don’t remember it being mentioned by a fellow competitor once. I think I can say without fear of contradiction pretty much everybody was there to play the game they love and have a good time.

KVNSTV, Teditu, Dougal, welcome to blonde, glad you had a fun weekend, thanks also to Suited Jock, (so unlucky) EricStoner (ditto) & BigFella for your comments.

Yoi have no idea how much this positive feedback means to all at APAT, but especially to me. We've been subject to a barrage of negativity for APAT's efforts, (mainly from non-Members) so it was a sweet, sweet weekend to see eveyone - everyone - enter into the spirit so perfectly, & exactly as we envisaged.

Many new friendships were forged, we've got new friends from all over the UK - Cornwall, Isle of Man, even Liverpool, Kidderminster (what?), all over the UK.

The Broadway gave us two wonderful buffets, 50 or more of us went and had some dinner at a local eatery on Sunday, and the bustees all stayed behind to watch the Final, (played in a wonderful spirit) which we made railer-friendly with a bit of light-humoured commentary.

And what a Final it was, with the table chip geography going to & fro throughout!

We said we'd start at exactly 3pm on Saturday, & finish at exactly 11pm, we did. We designed the structure so that it would not finish too late on Sunday (folks have to work), we wanted it to be over by 11pm Sunday. So Sunday was spot on too - we began at exactly 3pm, & the Final hand was played at about 10.52pm.

Happy Days! To all the APAT Members who made it such a stunning success, a big thank you.

Greetings Kevin, and welcome to blonde.

Wow, what a fantastic event the inaugral APA event was, i will do a full post when i get back from work as the whole weekend was quite tiring.

But importantly, a big thanks to the APA team, everyone at the Broadway, our fellow players and of course, the rail-birds who supported us all over this weekend.

[Colchester Kev]

I supported you catweazle .... I even managed to stop laughing about 1 hour after you got busted ......

Love from kev x
