H-Bomb Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 With less than a month until the next live APAT event is scheduled, I'm left wondering what's happening, where the venue is going to be and what night I'm going to have to keep free so I can register for it. I know some of the APAT guys get these posts and it would be grand if anyone that knew ANYTHING could let me/us/everyone know what was going on. I had a great time at the last event and I want to try my hand down in the Valleys so it would be nice to know something.

H-Bomb Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: APAT Welsh Open - Any info? I just want to try my hand in valleys. I'd also like to try my hand in any casino and a large city. In the valleys, I'd like to try my hand at sheep herding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie_D Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: APAT Welsh Open - Any info? Swampster. From what I can gather from Blonde Poker forum the dates are still not yet set in stone. However, from comments made (date ranges of 2-4 or 9-11 February were mentioned), this might actually be a 3-day event which might reduce the room size requirement. Location is still a secret (at least to me) but will ask around at Jim's game on Friday. See you there? Paulie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesD Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: APAT Welsh Open - Any info? Hi all, Discussions are ongoing with the venue, as they have been for some time now. It is likely that the dates of the event will be February 10 & 11 - subject to confirmation. When APAT is in a position to confirm final details, rest assured, they will be posted here - well in advance of an onsale date. Cheers, Des.

scarface1975 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: APAT Welsh Open - Any info? Theres only 2 casino's big enough in Wales to host the APAT event both Grosvenor casino's situated in Cardiff and Casino. I think it will most definitely be the Cardiff venue, hope it is as Swansea is a load of shite. Hope to see plent of punters lounge hopefuls there, this will be the first APAT tourney for me to enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
