Hi Grant, details are here http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=19472.msg247455#msg247455

Any questions just PM me...

Hi, can anyone tell me roughly how long they expect the HORSE tournament to last? Is it a 1 day event? Not going to hold anyone to any predictions, just looking for some rough guidelines.
Thanks.

Hi Dillon, with a full 70 players my best guestimate is 2am...

Dunno if its already been thought of or not..

What about a 1 minuet silence on Thursday before the team event starts, to show respect for our Belgium friends?

Im sure the TD could arrange this..?

Not sure about this. Are we going to have a minute"s silence whenever something happens - in other words, before every team event? Remember how awkward the minute"s silence in Prague was, when most of the non-British teams had no idea what it was for? Do we know whether anyone connected to any of the players has been affected?

Good luck to everyone playing WCOAP. I"m not there this year, have a great time all Apaters.

This shouldn"t affect Stratford, but may impact on those travelling across London.

Tube unions are planning to strike on the Piccadilly line from 21:00 tonight for 24 hours.

If the strike goes ahead:

There will be no Piccadilly line service from late evening tonight and all day Thursday 24 March
We advise you to complete journeys on the Piccadilly line by 22:30 on Wednesday 23 March, and to travel earlier if possible
If you"re travelling between Heathrow airport and central London during this strike, you can use Heathrow Connect and Heathrow Express to and from London Paddington station



Easter engineering works on the Tube, TfL Rail and London Overground will go ahead as planned from Friday 25 March

If you"re travelling in London over the Easter period, closures include:

The District line between Aldgate East and Dagenham East
The Hammersmith & City line between Liverpool Street and Barking
The Metropolitan line between Moor Park, Amersham and Chesham
Overground services between Camden Road and Stratford, Sydenham and Crystal Palace, Romford and Upminster, Highbury & Islington and Shadwell, Gospel Oak to Barking, as well as between Highbury & Islington and Clapham Junction and New Cross Gate

TfL Rail
Tram services between Reeves Corner and East Croydon

Other travel changes include:

Planned works on National Rail
Planned works on train services to Gatwick and Heathrow airports
The Congestion Charge does not apply between Friday 25 and Monday 28 March
The Boat Race on Sunday 27 March may make transport in south west London busier than usual

To be honest it was a remark of respect to the Belgium team more than anything.. It was just the timing of the atrocities in regards to the Belgium team leaving to play, IMO it doesn"t need to be connected players to directly, the world can be a **** place at times, one minute your boarding a plane, metro then next your life has been taken away sad times..

I agree. I think it is a good idea and will be appreciated by our Belgian friends.
