I"ve seen, regretable i"ll add, drift away from APAT, which kind of started in S6 i guess.
Now i was never a profilic attendee to all events, but it has to be said, S1-5/6 seemed to concentrate on UK venues, no team events, and a simple 1 per month, great value tournament.
Since S5 that seems to have drifted towards teams events, european trips. I understand the need to grow the brand/membership and the like, but imo, this has been at the cost of the core amateur player.
As they became less UK events, i had even less options to attend. I think in S6 it was like Aug then nothing until Feb that was within my reach.
Now the above is very mememe, but i think it has effected alot of others?
