It"s with great sadness that we"ve been informed about the passing of Mark Gray.



Mark had played many APAT events and a lot of you will have come across him supporting our online games.

He was a member of the Yorkshire Poker Club and played for that team in the APAT Team Event.



Our thoughts go out to Donna and to the rest of the family at this time.

Awful news, had met Mark and Donna a few times and both a credit to APAT.  Thoughts with Donna and the family.

Terrible. I used to run into Mark quite often a few years ago and always had a chat, but hadn"t seen him for quite a while. Often wondered what ooblio meant.

Very sad news, Mark was a active supporter of APAT he played regular online. He played for the Yorkshire team when we had regions and was a member of Yourkshire Poker Club who he representerd in the last 2 team games.

Always had time to talk to you, always had a smile but would not like to tackle him on the felts.
