For anyone that wants to play all of the events (who doesn"t live in/close to London), Blackpool just has to be a better option.

Well, I do want to play all the events (at least as many as I can) and I do live in/close to London..so, Blackpool isn"t a better option for me.
Wherever they site this it"s gonna be a trek for somebody. Let"s not forget that Rank/Grosvenor will have had a BIG say in where they want to hold things.

I understand, "that Rank/Grosvenor will have had a BIG say in where they want to hold things." However, that doesn"t make it the best for choice for the APAT membership.
I live close enough to London that I can travel for any of the events that I want to play / manage to get to a seat in... in all of my comments on the proposals for season 2 I have tried to be unbiased and not purely thinking of myself.

Nope, its the APAT tour and APAT decides which specific venues we hold our tournaments at. Blackpool and the Vic are both exceptional Grosvenor venues, and please bear in mind that the Vic will be able to cater for over two hundred players in a single sitting.
An important consideration is that this festival will be run in the month of APAT's second birthday and I felt the capital was due its first event. There will also be a number of runners from overseas and part of the attraction will be having a few days in London to see the sights.
There is also a huge amount of accomodation choice within an easy walk / bus / tube ride of the venue and APAT will look to do some deals with hotels closer to the events.

Des,
Apologies if you"ve already answered this elsewhere, but will all the dates for the National events be published at, or near, the start of season two ?
Thanks.
Ian

At the start of Season Two APAT will publish our tournament schedule showing the months that each event will fall into and their venues.
It is our intention to announce the specific details for two events at a time, so that players will always have the visibility of the "next event, and the one after that".
In addition I can tell you that it is our intention to hold the next European Amateur Championship outside of the UK during Easter 2008 and the World Amateur Championship Festival during the August Bank Holiday weekend 2008.
