Oh....and as I obviously misunderstood re-our conversation at Coventry about this event Des, my apologies if I caused any offence with any posts I made on here regarding this event. It was all said tongue-in-cheek, though as I have said elsewhere today, things written down can"t always convey the context in which they are meant.

The Three Pigeons, Witney (home of the hardest pub game in the country  :o), would like to take part please.

We currently have three part-time APAT"ers and several who keep threatening to come to an APAT tournament... this would be the perfect introduction for them.

Strange one this as probably most of the Forum teams will play their home games in Pubs and Clubs, as such wont you just get the same teams as in the Forum Champs? See Brians post above. If that is okay and is the case I would like to nominate "The Pavilion" home of Barnoldswick cricket club and the venue for LBPNs games.  :)

The LPM (current Team champions, don"t you know) are primarily home game based.

We do have members who play pub poker but given that we cover ALL of London...it"d be hard to pick ONE pub.

Not entirely, the Three Pigeons does not currently have a forum, therefore we did not take part in the Forum Champs.  :D

This is the "Pub Poker Championships" and we play poker in a pub, as do the SSPC and many others.

It is the only pub I personally play poker in although some of the BCPC play in others and may therefore wish to enter a team from those instead.

For the purposes of this, of course it is.  It"s a social club with a bar.

And how do I know it has a bar ? , because there is no way the Sunderland lads would play poker in a venue without a bar.  ;)

I"m not sure of the criteria (but a small gratuity might work wonders  ;D).

I believe that the general thought was that the captains would collect their teams buy-ins and pay them in one lump via an 888 tank much like a normal event.

That way there are only 15 to collect rather than a 120..simpler all round.

Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet.

He was indeed.  Locky and Dexter are still playing.  Current captain Guy Haines and Nicky Kernick (who I"m sure you will know - he"s been a mainstay of the team for years) are regulars at the poker night, as are quite a few of the younger players. 

Another man you will know, Andy McIlroy, has his very own hand named after him in the game.  It is 96 off and he once won a big pot with this killer hand when he flopped a full house!

Hey Guys/Gals

I see there are over 20 interested pubs and clubs now and more likely to declare interest
Travel plans could become an issue, will the event be extended or capped at 15.
If so, what is the criteria for entry?
Is the aim to bring more people into APAT? Or for existing APAT members?
I am a member and so is one of the ""team"" however the other 6 would be new to you.
