Tinkerman, you"d not be claiming that poker is only played by people in the age group 25 to 35 would you ???

OK, proved dead wrong on that one (again). Mea culpa.
--- Quote ---However, that doesn"t make it the best for choice for the APAT membership....in all of my comments on the proposals for season 2 I have tried to be unbiased and not purely thinking of myself.

Yes sir, I believe that and I applaud anyone who is willing to get involved in (and for) the members.
I was merely expressing MY opinion on the subject because..

...when thinking of the WHOLE membership, why exclude those who, through pure circumstance, happen to live in/near London.
Perhaps it"s not the ideal solution for the majority of the UK membership but Des has already covered his reasoning and, most, if not all, of the "issues" raised by others.
I believe that the points you have raised in this and your other posts will be covered along the way and, if felt appropriate by the APAT, adjustments can/will be made.
I have some issues with Season 2 (most of which you have already covered) but APAT is still only a fledgling in the nest.
Season 2 will be the test (IMHO) as to whether it can fly...
Season 3 is when it soars!

No, that is not the claim at all. The point of the statistic was that the distribution of population changed by age group and as such poker player distribution could be different.
I don't fit into this age group myself, but see many in this age group playing. Though of course all ages do play, I expect the more recent poker explosion has meant a larger concentration among the younger age group.
At the end of the day, the point was that you need to be careful about making decisions without fully understanding the dynamics of the situation.
