Update

I spoke with G Casino, Stockton today and am pleased to be able to confirm that they have kindly agreed to donate a "Casino Experience Package" - drink, food and free gaming bet for 2 people, available to be used at any G casino (with a restaurant).
This will be an addition to the 2nd place prize and many thanks to them for this.

They have also agreed to donate a number of "Free £10 bets", to be used on the night, and these will be assigned randomly (or not) as "bounties" on the night.

I am now 100% confirmed to be attending time off work sorted and hotel booked.

Latest news:

Kayla has just set up her new "JustGiving" page and I have the link here:

https://www.justgiving.com/jackscolourrun

It explains, in her words, their story and their determination to keep Jack"s memory alive and help other families in similar situations.

*PLEASE NOTE - this link is not to be used if you want to donate by taking part in the tournament, that will be cash on the night. This link is for information and for people who may not be able to make the event but would like to make a donation.*

Please feel free to share around, all/any donations welcomed!

More news!

We have been kindly donated 2 tickets to the Colts v Jaguars NFL game at wembley on October 2nd!

In order to maximise the money we are making for the charity, we are looking at doing a £20 last longer for the people in the tournament, the person who lasts the longest in the tourney will get the tickets!

This is fantastic value for these, the combined value if the tickets is probably approaching £200, and if we can raise that for the charity on top of the other money then it will be fantastic.

Not long to go now, but still time to get your name down and join the party with a load of APAT legends!

Morning all.

As the day is nearly upon us, Lucy has asked me to see if people can answer a few questions for is please

1 - who do we have definitely coming and playing the poker?

2 - Are there any donations for spot prizes/bounties etc (all bounties to be decided by random draw)

3 - We want to put some pictures of young Jack up in the card room, and we"re wondering if anyone know of any photo companies that could print us a few cheap or free large copies of photos off? Would be very much appreciated.

If you could all let me know by message on here, or facebook  that would be splendid

Thanks

ALSO! We are looking at changing it from £30 with 1 RE-entry to £30 with a optional rebuy or add-on, simply to give us the maximum chance of making the most money we can for the charity. If anyone has a problem with this, let us know please!

Well, what a night we had

Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone who attended the night, I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

Second, thank you to everyone who helped out and donated prizes -especially Stuart - couldn"t have done it without his help, and to JP for a plethora of prizes.

Lastly, just, wow at the generosity of you beautiful,  wonderful people. We raised £1500!!! That"s just incredible and I am overwhelmed and doesn"t include those of you who couldn"t attend but donated so, thank you a hundred times.

Take care, safe travels and "safe" drinking...xxx
