Read the changes a few minutes ago and my first thoughts were that LPC is history and nothing is like before.
Ok, we have to select a new team and have to accept APAT's changes. Im hopefull that it will be a start in new successful APAT age.
I"ll never forget LPC"s teamspirit, my attendance during APAT live events and an amazing team performance through Div 3 to 2 and to be part of the Div 1 runner up team and at last a lot of new relationships and meet new friends.
Appreciate Richard"s posting: It wasn"t the town of Luton, or the G Casino that we felt part of, it was the "Team". Many of us played simply because we really enjoyed that aspect of it and it is resonable for us to want to continue that where possible. We had a quirky, even eclectic mix of people, which for some reason gelled.
But is it the end now? Guess not, it"s our own decision to conserve the LPC-spirit and it"s great to know, that the forum will still have poker clubs rubric. Let"s use it in the future.
@Waz
Guess it hurts you a lot to see the changes and the end of LPC as a playing team. But I hope that you will not to be gutted to much. In APAT"S history books you"ll find your name forever. Forever as the captain of LPC success ! Last years def your name is inevitably associated with LPC.

It"s my understanding you pick the team you want to play for so i see no disadvantage, if old teams want to stick together they just join the same team!?

With the caveat that you need to be able to justify your decison to yourself. In the case of Waz, he played with Luton for several years and that club has been absorbed into L & HC. That gives him the justification to join that region. The purpose of the new league is to improve on what we do, not break communities up. Plus Waz isn"t very good, unless it"s a £20 crapshoot :) lol.

Quite a bit has changed since this discussion Andy. Whether anything else changes is currently under discussion.

Sad to see Luton go as a team, but I"m sure we can still have our shindig on the Friday night if Luton remains a venue for an APAT national.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of the discussions tonight, but as it stands it looks like the Luton personel will be split between LondonHC and East. Personally if it stays the same I think it"s only proper that people sign upto the "right" region and I can see from the names listed that this has already happened.
Bit of a decision for me as I think I could justifiably play for either region given my location. I"m sure it will all come out in the wash.
PS - All the best to Achimm and Team Europe - I"m sure he"ll do a great job.

Hi All
Well after a not inconsiderable amount of, sometimes heated, discussion on the new format we have a definative answer.
One one side I am very sad not to have been given the opportunity to continue what Waz started as Captain of Team Luton, and also, that I and a few others, will not be in the same team as many of you will now be, as Buckinghamshire is now in the South East region. The good thing is that many more of you will be in the same team now which is great.
The major thing that came out of this is that we all care passionately about "our" club, and more importantly the people in it. As I said previously, don"t ask me why, WE JUST DO!
On this note I would like to propose the following.
As LPC as an entity will only exist for our own benefit and amusement, can I suggest that we make Waz honoury president in recognition of his achievments over the past few years. No work will be required Waz, don"t worry, but it would simply recognise what has been a superb effort on our behalf.
We will still have our "home game" on the Friday before the APAT Luton game, and also our social network pages to share stories, both good and bad, with each other.
If you feel the same way, or not for that matter, just post here.
Good luck to all in the new season, whom ever you play for. (especially Achim as the new captain of Europe)
