Travelling to APAT events
Jon MW:
I think the main issue is finding suitable venues to hold them rather than any plan to make a good geographical spread.
I don"t know how many APATers live that way, but I wouldn"t mind a trip to Cornwall or Devon for an APAT tournament for example, I don"t think any have been held down there at all yet.

I"d be up for that but I don"t know of any venue capable of holding say 150 players (let alone willing to do so) in that area*....and that, as you know Jon, is the issue at hand.
BTW....Despite the success of Glasgow this year it"s often a close run thing whether we even hold the Scottish National in Scotland at all...but Des insists (picky innit).
*If anyone does, PM me and I"ll pass it on.

well was this not the first year it was in Glasgow , and there was this talk before it even went ahead about not having a scottish leg next year, glad to see we proved it a worthwhile event.
Out of interest where would you propose to have the SCOTTISH national . Cork?

You seem to have an opinion Paulie when in fact you have no contribution to where the venues are, it is Richard, liaising with Des who organises them all.
I have to agree with Shug and Gerry wholeheartedly that the schedule this year is not favourable to many and that many events had very little turnout from members of the APAT forum.
I just hope that next year it will be better and that the venues are doable for a good percentage of members.
As for Cork this year, what a nightmare to get to when Dublin was such a good and easy city to be able to easily get to.
But I know how hard it is for Richard to secure venues for each event and I take my hat off to him on how hard he works to provide each event for us

Of course it"s just an opinion, I never said I had any input although Richard does occasionally involve me in the travel factors for the overseas ones.
I was merely stating the facts based on my conversations with Des and Richard. The factors I gave are the ones they have imparted to me and have stated in this forum a number of times.

I agree Dublin would have been better than Cork....but I refer you to my previous points. I have spoken to Richard regarding Dublin (specifically the Fitz) on a couple of occasions over the past 18 months and it was very unlikely we would be back there this year.
