I"d like to offer my utmost thanks on behalf of the winning Bristol and South West Poker Meetup team to Des and everyone else at APAT for running such a great weekend. Also, many thanks to Tightend and The Tower for their reporting - it really adds a great deal to the event.
I"ve written a decent sized trip report on our forums, I hope you dont mind me linking it: http://poker.meetup.com/321/messages/boards/thread/5102765
Finally, congratulations to Mary for winning the individual title. It sounds like it was a popular win.

Im home!!!! after stopping another night, as it was too late to drive home.
What can I say, im speechless at the mo, quite overwhelmed tbh and after reading all the threads in RTR and APAT I am astounded at the superb support I have received.
When I arrived on Friday night I never expected to leave today as the APAT Champ, my goal was to have a gr8 time, meet everyone, play some poker and have a nice relaxing weekend. Relax?? yer bloomin kiddin lol, it was the most stressful weekend o me life LOL.
First of, I would like to say how wonderful it was to meet up with the RTR Team, Lou, Mike, Mik, Bull, Biffa, Ant, Scouse and dD. You are, without a shadow of a doubt, the most fantastic bunch of peeps I have ever met in the Poker circuit, and it truly was a pleasure to Captain the team and, not only meet you all, but to watch you all in action. I am so very proud of every one of you, and I couldnt say it enough during the interviews.
The support from everyone has been unbelievable, all the different forums who had taken part were also joining in the cheering with the RTR crew, it truly was fantastic to see and hear. I met so many people, put so many faces to names I knew and had only spoken to online, it made for a great weekend.
Congrats to the Bristol Team, gr8 job you guys!, also to Andy and Paul, vwp and congrats on your Medals.
I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Des, Rich, Ian, Dafydd, Adam, The Tower and everyone else for making the event such a success and their hard work throughout the 2 days, (Ian I never seen you stop lol, you were running about everywhere). Also thanks to Jonathan Raab, the Grosvenor staff and every1 else involved in the running of the tournament.
Thanks again every1, Im still getting my head around it and it will take a few days to sink in.
PS: 100/1 shot lol, lovely return for that! and my m8 Neil got me at 125/1 so he is quids in! Get in! lol.
APAT:
I would just like to add my congratulations to Mary, who is one of the genuinely "good guys" in poker and life. I have no doubt she will be a tremendous ambassador for APAT and Raise The River and I, along with all of the APAT team, am thrilled for her success.
I"ll take the opportunity also to thank Ian Burnett, Dafydd Jones and Adam Sharples, who alongside Rich worked their socks off all weekend to keep 20 poker communities updated on the drama that was unfolding within the Blackpool G.
A special thanks also to Phil Heald and the AWOP / Nutz TV team. They were incredibly professional throughout the weekend. Their output has been outstanding and comments much appreciated.
As a team, Bristol & South West played the best poker over the weekend and are very deserving of the qudos they now hold as UK Team Champions. I interviewed several of them over the weekend and they are all looking forward to defending their title in Season 3, and they already understand that you will all want a piece of them when the time comes! That is one weekend I"m already looking forward to.
Our other award winners over the weekend were the Raise The River and FISO teams plus Andrew Bailey of the Gutshot and Paul Smith of Bristol & South West who took individual honours. Outstanding results and very well played.
Blue Square and Grosvenor have shown APAT a great deal of support throughout Season Two and I"d like to thank the G cardroom team and Jonathan Raab who all put in a great deal of effort over the weekend. Northern poker players are extremely lucky to have access to the outstanding cardroom of the Blackpool G. With some additional resource, it could well be amongst the very best cardrooms in the country.
Finally, a huge thank you to all of our players and teams who competed so magnificently. The atmosphere was electric throughout and I thought you were going to shake the G into the North Sea during the final table! APAT wouldn"t be where it is and what it is without the support of our members and I take my hat off to each and every one of you for producing, quite possibly, the best ever atmosphere at a UK event. We hope to see you at a future APAT event.
Regards,
Des.
