Some of the team know already, I"ve been talking about stepping down this season for a long time since the Worlds at DTD, and its with regret that this Sunday will be my last game as Stockton Captain.
From my first APAT in Vienna years ago, to coming back and raving about all that was APAT to my mates at the pub, to then start dragging some of them to APAT events and forming the Stockton team out of a bunch of fantastic mates from the pub and then winning promotion from Div 2 into Div 1 with just a few regulars has been a fanastic achievement and I"m proud to have been captain for the past few years.
Individually the Stockton team has excelled, winning numerous Golds online and live, we have a current world champion, ex european champion live, and online too many to count titles and medals spread around the team over the past years. All mates and all from what started from a pub team. Very proud.
Personally, as some of you know I received an important work phone call during the early hours of an important Pai Gow session :) near the end of the Vegas trip which meant the landing of a contract for my company that we"d been chasing for a number of years which will mean my spare time limited over the next year or so.
I will aim to play as many APAT live and online as I can, but feel this is a good time to pass on the Stockton captaincy to someone who can give the team the time and energy it deserves. Anyone wishing to apply please send me a PM.
Good luck to all the teams ongoing, been a pleasure sharing tables with you all, and look forward to doing so in the future.
For me personally I"d like to thank all the Stockton team for their efforts from Div 2 and into Div 1, you"ve done us all proud. Couldn"t of wished for a better set of team mates.
Thank you.
Much love.

Sad news mate, another fantastic team captain handing over the reins this year. as you said, to get a pub team together to compete, let alone win, at this level has been a superb achievement *tips hat*
On a personal level it"s great news that your business efforts are being rewarded and I"m sure will become a huge success. All the best Phil :-*

FISH! ;D
Seriously, Good Luck Mate.

Cheers Grant and JP :-*

Fecker - I"d forgotten about that. The bugger nearly broke my leg in the first match of the soccer tournament preceding the Home Internationals, making me useless for the remaining matches, ie not affecting my performance at all. Could hardly walk for the whole weekend, though. I"m storing up such a horrible bad beat for you Phil.

Finally luckboxed my way to a final table last night, good way to finish the captaincy.
Well done to pokerpops as well for getting into the points x
I"ve received 2 PM"s showing interest in the captaincy.
Will allow another week for interest before announcing who the lucky fella or lady is x

WP last night - see you can multi-task with work after all :)
Shouldn"t the captaincy be up for vote by team members?

Dear Mr Tompkinson
I would like to apply for the position of Captain of Stockton Poker Club. I have previous experience in a similar role, so I believe this would be an excellent fit for both sides. I have recently completed a similar project, so am free to take up the position as soon as required.
I have already been to Teesside on one occasion - to play a Gala tournament, when I was very unlucky to be eliminated holding AA just 3 places off the money. With the games being held on the Interweb, with luck I would be able to carry out the role without having to visit the area again very often.
Please let me know the outcome as soon as you can, as there are a number of other similar roles on the market and I need to know where I stand.
Regards
John Murray
PS - I thought you were very good in Ballykissangel.

I don"t mind how a new captain is produced, as long as it is for the good of the club. I am sure Phil will make a great choice. If the members wish to create an election, this is fine as well.

Thanks for doing a great job with Stockton Phil and best of luck with the new contract.
-
Thanks for those that PM"d me regarding the captaincy and of course to John for his application who got extra merit for mentioning my cousin in his ps :)
I"m pleased to announce that the Stockton Cock himself Stuart Ward will be the new Stockton captain from today.
Good luck to Stu and the whole of the Stockton team going forward x
-
Best of luck Stuart and thanks for stepping up. Hopefully you"re on a small percentage of Phil"s new contract ;)
-
Cheers Phil, firstly for the job that you did for us all, its going to be alot to live up to, and secondly for giving me the chance to step up :)
I am really looking forward to playing the next season, and i know that with the players at our disposal and the talentwe have here, we can win a few points and really stick it up some of the bigger teams in the league. Hopefully Phil will still be around to play every week for us, i shall certainly be badgering him to do so!
Any questions then fire away :)
