Title: A Day At The Races
Post by: Chipaccrual on March 28, 2009, 11:38:39 AM
We clearly have a large number of APAT members that enjoy their horse racing.

I was wondering what the level of interest would be to arranging meeting up for a days racing.  It could be tied into an APAT event if that was possible.  Not the easiest thing to coordinate, but for example.

WCOAP in August finishes on Sunday 30th, there is racing on the Bank Holiday Monday at  Warwick and Huntingdon, which seem the closest to Nottingham.

Alternatively, we could just pick a meeting with some good racing and go for that.


First of all though, I need to see whether there is any interest, so please post your comments.

Count me in, but not the Bank Holiday. If there is enough interest then a course central to every one. Like Pontefract, Doncaster, Beverley, York, also I supposed it will have to be a Saturday but I will take a day off work so a Friday would be good for me. Would be good if this could happen

I"d be interested.
Could pick any non apat weekend that is near a casino and have a day at the races followed by a bit of poker action at night?

Not everyone reads this section Leigh. If we can sort out a meeting maybe we could post it on the general poker thread.Or even better change the name of this section to .General Sports Betting and Fantasy Sports.

I"m quite keen on Rob"s idea of a Saturday racing close to DTD then poker in the evening (as this is the best venue to meet most peoples stakes/requirements + added valooooooo if Kinfishi is there)

Potential dates then are :-

Sat 25th April - Leicester

Sat 9th May - Nottingham


Anyone got a preference ?

Title: Re: A Day At The Races

Okay, Saturday 9th May at Nottingham looks good.

With poker at DTD in the evening.  Both Lukybugur and Kinboshi will be adding valooooooooo at the cash tables that night.


So please form an orderly queue.   ;D

Okay, after much discussion this afternoon (you think the G20 has problems), Daniel, Neil and Myself will be booking Premier Enclosure packages (as thats where the ladies will be - you"re welcome Dan).

Staying at Holiday Inn on Saturday Night and will be at DTD on the Friday and Saturday night for added valoooo to all other players.

Hope to see as many as possible, spread the word.

Incredibly tempted by this myself.
It"ll either be this or Dublin for me so if I don"t bother to buy in to Dublin I"ll probably do my best to come along to this.

Haha Dan, obviously the added value of Ladies day is what makes this a strong contender ;) :P

90 mins sleep is more than enough before a full day of racing and poker - that"s my tip ;)

Oh, and if Kinboshi bets as if he has trips, he does have trips.
