Fandango's Festive FreeRoll !!

[fandango]

Hi All..

As many of you already know, i have had a rather amazing 2012 when it comes to APAT poker..!! Never beyond any of my wildest dreams would i ever think of winning one yet alone two championships!..

Along with the medals and cash i won i also was gifted with the great added value of Genting Series seats for both wins..

I always wanted to play at least one of these events next year, and upon the release of the new tour dates im thrilled that they are holding a leg at the newly refurbished Westcliffe on Sea casino which i will be excited about playing with one of my seats  .

With the situation i have personally, i find it somewhat of a struggle to attend all of the live poker a year i would like to play, and being a huge fan of everything APAT i like to make sure when i do have the opportunity, that i put these events first.

So i would like to give something back to the community that has supported me, whenever i have managed to run deep you guys have been totally amazing with the messages of good luck etc,, and the remarks after a win have been so humbling you could never understand.. You have always made me feel so welcome at the live events, and helped me when i needed it, little things like helping me to and from the table, chip stacking etc mean alot to me and truly appreciate this.. making Emma feel welcome/comfy as she sits bored out of her skull whilst i sit there for hours upon hours being a complete nit  .

So i would like to run a free roll/charity tournament for one of my added value Genting seats..

Have spoken to Des and Leigh who have granted me permission to be able to do this..( thanks guys amazing as always) and will be chatting to Matt later today to finalise tournament details.. date, structure, time, etc, etc,..

Also i thought it would be a nice gesture to make it a charity tournament, as many of you know i have Muscular Dystrophy and decided i would like to give back something to help them with fund raising so prehaps in the future any extra funds might help in research etc for a cure..

So i have set up a justgiving page... All i ask is for a small donation to be given on this link as it would make a huge difference to many who suffer from MD...

Once i have confirmation of donation, if you could message me either on here or on Facebook, when the tournament is set up i will send you the password..

Will update this thread when indeed i have final details of tournament..

Many thanks again to you all Merry Xmas

You have always been a top bloke but now you will be a top APAT'er (but you was already)  

What a generous thing to do Carl. It"s thinks like this that makes the APAT community one of the best, sorry that makes APAT the best

If I know how to put a smile clapping then I would  

Donation on it"s way when I get home from work

If I win the freeroll then I would give 50% off any winnings in the GPS back to your charity

I haven"t been a member for a long time and I haven"t been able to meet some of the great APAT people (hope to change that with the WCOAP), but massive RESPECT!!!

[Curlarge]

Just when we all thought it wasn"t possible to meet a nicer bloke than you, Pilgrim 2 arrives

Donation on the way, and thanks Carl.

Done.

50% of any winnings will of course go back to the charity.

[AAroddersAA]

That is a fantastic gesture Carl, well done.

I will do a donation later today.

PS

btw Another fantastic gesture would be for you to stop winning everything in sight to give the rest of us chance :-)

Brings a lump to my throat reading this Carl, even though you already dropped a big hint whilst we were playing last night that you may be doing this.

I would like to be the first to nominate you for the Apat Hall Of fame. Donation on the way you legend. x

[adilong1]

Wow, not been on here long but from what i read on here your an absolute legend.

Hope to play against you one day live.

I"ll be donating for the charity, and like Wayne"s comment above I"ll donate 50% off any cash to it aswell.

FFS Carl stop adding to your already confirmed legend status will you   Its a wonderful thing your doing mate and a fantastic gesture.

Doubt I"ll be able to play the freeroll with work, but will donate to your page anyway.

Love you x

[Pears27]

oh wow Carl, such a top fella!!  

Would be proud to be in for this.




(if only you could find some decent jokes for facebook though!)

[Chipaccrual]

The things people will do to get nice things said about them  

This is a fantastic gesture from Carl, and one that we totally support.  By running the donations through a JustGiving page, we ensure complete transparency with the charity and allows people to donate whatever they can afford to a truly worthwhile cause.

I hope everyone will support this tournament, raise a load of money and send an APATer to a GPS event in 2013.

[Waz1892]

It"s all me me me with you Carl! Xx  

[suzanne]

What a fantastic gesture. You are my hero Carl xxx

donation donated... and looking forward to the tourney. Great idea Carl.
Could we have an annual(or season) APAT charity? just a small sideline for APAT member to contribute to throughout the year(season) lots of small donations could make a big difference.
