APAT - an Apology

On the brightside, if the venue doesn't have disabled access, Iron can't steal my blinds.

Hi James,

The details that have been posted in this thread were in direct response to a thread that has been running in the Live Poker category for some time now.  In our last APAT newsletter on Tuesday, I stated that discussions were ongoing concerning the next venue, and that I anticipated being able to update the membership in thext week to ten days.  Until agreement is reached with the venue, there isn't actually anything to announce yet!

Regards,

Des.

I think that not updating the web-site to inform APAT members that the November event won't be in Scotland could be a potential PR disaster should some people be in the process of booking flights/trains/hotels for Glasgow.  I know that APAT has never said that the event would be in Glasgow but it was always a strong favourite and these costs can be substantially reduced by booking at least a month in advance. 

Anyone who has booked flights in advance based on some hearsay needs a big mug hat and to be placed in the corner and told not to speak.

Or even better put next to me at a poker table!  I will even give them position on me as well

Is there any further news about the next live event - other than what's on the APAT site?

It's less than a month away now, and I know that people travelling will be keen to book hotels.  Also as it's now spread over three days (two Day 1s I assume?), some people will need to book days off work (and might have to give a month's notice), etc.

I'm sure everyone concerned is working flat out to make it a success, and this is much appreciated by everyone.    But I'm sure I'm not the only one who's keen to find out more about it.

Cheers,

Daniel

I'm afraid there isn't any news yet. A lot of work is going on with the intended venue but these things take a bit of time

We are as keen as you are to tie things up and get those tickets on sale.

Apologies for the delay.

[dougal7878]

Any update on a venue yet for the November tourney?

[TightEnd]

er, see my reply above!

[Zebediah]

Not a problem, I hate to plan things more than 7 days in advance anyway.
Just more time for them to go wrong.

i aint worried about my hotel there prices never go up much but my flight is going up every minute i wait

[Suited_Jock]

Given this a shameless bump to see if any more news is forthcoming? I dont think I can justify travelling if we hear a week before as the flights just sky rocket.

[tikay]

We are hoping to be able to announce something tomorrow. There are good reason for the delay. The announcement will leave adequate time for arrangments to ve made, we hope, certainly more than a week.

APAT apologise that we have encountered this problem, but we are sorting it.

You can get cheaper offers at some hotels if you book a few weeks, or a month in advance, Travelodge for example.
