Totally agree with the points Michelle put forward and glad it was a Lady making those points, but, when it comes to team events, now we don"t have a level playing field!

A male Captain when picking a team is going to have a natural bias to kid himself out of picking or even considering a Lady player a worthy selection, not to mention the peer pressure against making that decision.

I think we miss out on adding a fantastic dynamic to our already superb Team Events by not including a Ladies only team.

I picked a lady in the very first team event.

I also believe there were other ladies playing and England had a lady captain.

I would love to see an APAT Forum Team event at DTD.

Why?

Because you could theoretically get 50 teams of 9 players (45x10) in there for a 2 day event and I think this should be done to accommodate the expanding team event. Team events are expanding rapidly and I think APAT's is the biggest regular event. Every year there are teams who miss out and expanding this in the only venue that can hold it would help get more people introduced to APAT.

We"ll target end April to make that announcement, and anything before will be a bonus for us all.

We"re working hard though, you can trust me on that!


Cough!

You didn"t think I would let that one pass did you?

Bated breath and all that...I"m sure you are all hard at work. :)

All events and dates are with the venues but we are awaiting final confirmations from some of them.  If I was a betting man (I"m not), I"d say this announcement will happen late next week. 

That said, Mr Duncan is seldom not the smart money in a discussion like this...
