The second event of APAT's seventh season, the William Hill APAT English Championship, will be held at the G Casino in Coventry (http://www.gcasino.co.uk/coventry/index.php) on 29th & 30th June 2013.
Casino Address:
Ricoh Arena, Phoenix Way
Foleshill, Coventry
CV6 6GE
Accessability:
The location of the G at the Ricoh Arena pretty much mandates the need for a car/taxi with the only exceptions being the Novotel, which is within walking distance, or the on-site De Vere Hotel
Can travellers please consider using the APAT LateRooms link at the top of the page as they are an APAT commercial partner and extremely competitive.
