Anyone excited?
On the choice of the Easter weekend - it"s great for me with no children and not having to have days off work (actually I teach so I can"t usually have Mondays off). Also, I have a partner who lets me go/comes with me if it"s held in a city which she fancies visiting while I"m playing (which is the case with Newcastle).
Do the majority of APATers have children or not. If the latter, these Bank Holiday weekends are perfect.

Four young kids and a VERY understanding wife. Bit peeved to be away over a holiday weekend, but already missed one APAT this year, and can"t get to any of the remote events, so had to bite the bullet for this one.

I suspect that the range of familial arrangements runs the full range with, perhaps, a slight skewing towards younger side without the full-on apron-strings
That"s not to say that the younger side don"t have other commitments which will mandate that they can"t make the more "remote" events, prior commitments, significant others, etc., will have their demands at weekends...especially holiday weekends.
Personally as a middle-aged single fellow with no kids, I"m VERY happy with the way S5 has been scheduled...but I fully acknowledge that I"m probably in a significant minority.

LOL Ross - you get to APAT events in London, but not to the one that"s half a mile down the road! That"s a hell of an irony!
