Title: APAT Lions 2nd Test This Saturday 11am - De Vere Hotel Bar; Come & Join Us
Post by: AceOnTheRiver on June 10, 2013, 22:00:35 PM
As I am sure some will have noticed the Saturday of APAT Coventry coincides with the 2nd test of the GB & Irish Lions series in Australia, 11am BST kick off, coverage from 10.30am

It would be great to get a bit of a crowd to watch this together.

I have now spoken with the manager of the Restaurant / Bar in the hotel and he is going to reserve an area for us. I have started a list of attendees below and will amend as more people post... The more the merrier.

APAT LIONS:

JP
Curly
Stu Ward
Darren Shallis
Rodders
Dave H
Jaxie
Holdy (if she can get up)
Ian
Brian
Matt
Carl

LMAOOO!!!  Chances of Holdy getting up on time?!   :D

I know we"ll be watching the match, but not sure where yet.  Don"t think we were meant to get to Coventry until the evening though.  Will ask the boss when he gets back from walking the dogs.

I will likely turn up if I am in Coventry at that time. Where you going to watch? The casino is the obvious place otherwise we are having to drive or get taxis to places.

+1 to both of these posts - just looked at the list of attendees and this one is going to be mythical.

I am sadly not able to arrive on Friday so I will be coming down early on Saturday, aiming to arrive around 10:30am will ring one of you when I get there.

It has only been 3 months since WCOAP but seems like a lot longer doesn"t it.

Bit of a shame I can"t make the Friday would have liked to play the cash event, never mind will be there on the Saturday in time for the rugby. I should probably think about reserving a seat actually.

An Englishman, An Irishman and a Welshman walk into a bar.....

...which is a pretty good start but we could do with a Scot or two to complete the Lions along with more of the aforementioned!! So ""Mon the Scots" and English and Irish and Welsh  ;D

Come on down guys, the more the merrier.

Please post on here and I"ll upate the OP

Had put the idea of the main event out of my head, but Jack seems pretty keen to play it.  Throw drink into the mix and I fear I might consider playing too.  Need to prep the brain now, one way or the other, so it"s drilled in by Saturday. Currently trying to decide if I play better sober or after drink. And I"ll get it in there before anyone else pipes up, "Yer **** either way"...  lol

Due to arrive at about 10:30am, so myself and 2 others will be up for this. I don"t know most of you, but this seems like a great chance to meet you all in a surrounding other than at the poker table quietly trying to take each others chips. Like someone said in another thread, it can be difficult for new players, or players who only play a couple of events per season, to feel welcome among the regs. Something like this is a great way for these players to introduce themselves away from the competitiveness of the poker table.
