More focus on locations that the majority of the membership can afford to get to, and less focus on holiday destinations to satisfy the few that can afford it. How much has the APAT brand really been expanded by the foreign trips to date? How many of those locals that have played in the foreign locations joined up with APAT.co.uk, or used the forum, or played other APAT events?

I thought you were in favour of overseas events:

The concept of APAT is about bringing value poker to the masses for affordable buy in - but I thought it was also about standardisation of the game.... and to achieve that, it has to gain exposure beyond the UK shores.

APAT is an excellent concept.................Why not expand to other countries and share the benefits?

Wow - rooting out 3 year old posts to show self-contradiction - nice one. It was tried, but in my opinion has not been great, and has detracted from much of the good stuff that APAT was known for.
hi_am_chris:
Think the main thing in general with the overseas events is whether we are going to get active members online, at live events or on the forum but in reality they will play the one event and then forget about apat.
The aim was to spread the brand but i don"t think it works and it would be better to try and build up the brand even more in the UK.

Agree with all of the posts mentioned, but mostly with overseas events, why ????
for me it doesn"t enhance APAT membership and is only a jolly for the few who are and able to afford it of which I am not one ( sob sob cry ) LOL
I have played in a few tourneys around the country and was amazed when I mentioned APAT that people still haven"t heard about us !!! More tournaments to highlight APAT etc to the british player is needed not overseas :-\
For the most APAT do a great job and I know the poker scene has changed from when APAT 1st began with more people following in our footsteps making things tougher
Ohh as above BYE BYE BOSS ( please )
:)
hi_am_chris:
Also please get rid of the Dusk till Dawn visits so i don"t feel dissapointed when i go to other casinos!
