 With regards to walsall, i cant see why it was an updaters nightmare. Unless somthing happened that was behind the scenes.

I was thinking more about the location, it is smack bang in the middle of the country (its probably one of the few venues where most people dont have to book hotel for),  it is a G casino so it is nice and new and it can comfortably hold 200 runners. When we used to do the click fest 3 years ago it always sold out within minutes.

Nothing wrong with Walsall, particularly post refurbishment, the venue. Not sure what the updaters nightmares are.

A few other wrinkles though, but nothing that would prevent us going back EXCEPT I consider DTD and G Coventry superior venues for the Midlands. Then there is the Broadway, very nice too. So we have plenty of choice

lol, of course most people have to book at a hotel if we go to Walsall. Only those within 50 miles of Birmingham might not

I doubt it (sponsor dependent)....it was, from what I understand, not a terribly cheap or efficient system.

The click fest wasn"t the most efficient but kinda added to it all... I remember the days of constantly pressing F5 on the APAT home page waiting for the magicial buy in link to appear at 9pm... having my address / credit card details ready to copy and paste into the following forms, receiving the email telling me I"d pre-registered and then logging onto the forum to see if I"d got in... people posting "9:04" etc and wondering if that was quick enough... happy days.. I miss them.

Reminiscing about days long gone.... I"m finally turning into my dad. FML :(

I"ve updated at Walsall and it"s perfectly fine - only issue I thought was that for public transport users it can be a bit of a pain to get to.

Ahhhhh Walsall


Such fond memories of Tighty throwing my laptop across the cardroom. (Totally accidental, I may add)

Des, Tighty and I attempt to resuscitate it with little success.  We call in IT expert Daniel "Kinboshi" Phillips.  He pushes a few buttons, then sighs a bit, then says "No, it"s definitely f*!ked, I"ll be in the bar"


as Ger would say, Great Times.

It was no reason to leave the updating team though. I have been through 4 laptops in 16 events, and counting.....

4 laptops? You have to stop letting Ironside near them! Works for me...
