Re: APAT UK Team Championship PLAYER BRIEFING "The initial stage of your casino registration can be completed via this form http://www.grosvenorcasinos.com/local-casinos/join-casino?CasinoCode=GCL1 " The above form has an error due to both "yes" and "no" tick boxes being ticked. Easy fix you do yourself, thanks to Jag for spotting the problem :P
