At the beginning of the season, in the suggestion posts for season 6. It was suggested of having a membership fee which was widely supported but was never implemented due to the fact it may drive people away instead of attracting new members.
Today I have become a Staked Licensed Player for two reasons. Number 1 to get staked, although I don't think I will be using it much as who will stake me? When you have the likes of George2loose and Swinebag22 to name but 2. But I will have a go; you never know someone may take pity on me. Number 2 is that I see this as a way of paying a Voluntary fee to APAT. As far as I'm aware, APAT is still a non profit organization so any monies will go back into running APAT so I have no quorums in paying £10 or 1% of any winnings.

I like it...that"s a good way to look at it.
On the other hand, and I"m almost certainly wrong, I think the early adopters of APAT actually did pay a small fee in the beginning...maybe £10? Dunno, just something I have in the dark recess of what I like to refer to as...as...as...oh, yeah, my memory.
Oh...and it"s qualms. :)

Yes, we paid £5
Thanks for pointing that out, See OP :)

Was not going to play this weekend due to a big day and night out on the Saturday (York races) but now with it being so close I just cannot resist so just bought in via DTD on-line shop. I may be late and I may be hung-over so if you see me with sunglasses it"s not because I"m a hot shot poker player, I"m just hiding my bloodshot eyes.
