Following the success of the Amateur PingPong Association & Tour"s (APAT for short) Luton table tennis tourney, the tour has decided to include Nottingham as it"s next stop in late March, for it"s prestigious World Championship of Amateur Pingpong (WCOAP for short).
But, that"s not all. The Amateur Pool Association & Tour (APAT for short) are also going to be in town, holding the World Championships of Amateur Pool...
Finally the Amateur Pondboarding Association & Tour (aka APAT) will be in town too(!), for their World Championships!. (The World Championships of Amateur Pondboarding).
Update: 2nd Feb: A recent development also sees the Amateur Putting Association & Tour (APAT) hold their inaugural World Champs at the same time!
Before I look into booking up stuff and dates etc., can I have a brief show of interest for the following championships:
