For satellites I"d far prefer a "one and done" attitude toward feeders and super sats. I"m not going to play Monday, to qualify for a Saturday final. That"s two evenings just for an outside chance at a seat. Follow DTDs lead and run a turbo feeder into the main sat.

Good point. I actually tried this on Saturday for the Scottish Online. Will look at doing this for satellites for Live events too. Perhaps with standard feeder sats in the week, and a turbo feeder on the same night as the final satellite.
Laxie:
Really don"t like feeders into feeders and also think having so many events in the year is diluting APAT.
Also, if you"re keen to keep Ireland in the mix, The Cue Club in Killarney is a poker room that can hold (I think) 160 with the added bonus...they serve drink. Flights from Stanstead and Luton direct to Kerry airport and Connie usually sorts transport for players from the airport into town.
Flights from Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Gatwick, Heathrow, Stanstead, Manchester & Newcastle into Cork and either rent a car or get the train down to Killarney from Cork. That said, Cork is another option. The Macua Club in Cork is pretty good and Ken is a nice enough lad.

No foreign trips, what"s the point? As said if anyone wants to organise their own Jolly Boys outing they can, that"s basically what the guys in Vegas have done, and then most of them didn"t play the APAT event!
Equally spread destinations across the UK, to make access fair to all. Glasgow was a well supported event (sold out) but APAT regulars were fairly thin on the ground, due to the distance, not a problem with this as I wont be in Brighton, but so long as the membership gets a fair crack at a few events.
Not a big fan of events landing on Bank Holidays, its not always popular at home to leave for a Poker tournament and be away Saturday and Sunday, but to add Monday into the equation rubs salt in the wounds.
Dont mess with the structure, it is spot on.
Club/Forum team event is great fun keep it going.
Euro Champs or world champs fine, knock the home nations on the head.
