Congratulations and very well done everyone We finished ahead of Dundee tonight so we will finish third in the League and gain promotion! Division Two here we come Thanks everyone for playing. It is a very tough league and we have had bad luck over the last few games but we kept fighting and got the result in the end
Everyone in the Team is a quality player and I hope you will keep playing for Swansea next season, I"m sure more people will join Swansea soon. It would be great if we could all meet up next month and celebrate! I think we all deserve a night out after all the effort we"ve made. So hopefully see you soon Cheers everyone Allyson

Great post and thanks, yes we deserve a night out!!

Although you are not going to say it yourself, we wouldn"t have done it without the job you did as captain by getting some players and changing it into a team that nobody bothered with into a team that can get promotion (and won two games at exactly the time we needed you too) - Well Done. See ya in Bolton.



Obviously I expect the full support of Swansea next weekend in my effort to win the APAT National Rankings Title (and keep it out of Cardiff *lol*). I am currently top but Darren Shallis is right behind me with Jack Prime still in with an outside shout too. Don"t forget to follow the updates on the APAT boards.



Oh and you really should all visit the rest of the APAT forum at some point too, we are all really quite nice :-)

congrats on your promotion.

Thanks and congrats on your promotion. Well done Luton!

[ugmike]

Allyson - I"d certainly second Steven in thanking you for captaining us (and of course your two wins!).  Steven, best of luck on the APAT rankings.

Now for the night out, what dates are we thinking?  Mid-week or weekend etc?  Do people want to exchange numbers by PM to organise?

Congrats to everyone on the promotion - let"s see if we can get up to Div 1!

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Guy"s

Excellent news, I survived a weekend in Spain with APAT (I was not 100% sure if I was still alive yesterday but can now confirm I am) *lol*

I think a night out in Feb is a must (we were awesome this season) so we should do something about it rather than just talk about it. I honestly don"t mind what we do but my preference would be something that does not involve playing poker. I would be happy with a night in Wetherspoons or some place like that. However there is also the option of going for a meal (Indian is good for me). Oh and a weekend is better IMO, will be better if we don"t have to get up for work. I am not available the weekend of 12th and 13th but would be happy with any other weekend. However I am going to suggest 5th of Feb just so we have a date. If that does not work for others we can change it.

Mike/Chris/Steve I will PM you my number/email. Can you all PM me and Allyson with yours so we can all text or email each other.

Can all four of you please post here if 4th Feb is any good for you and if you would prefer:-

Poker
Meal
Pub (with food included if you like)

I will vote for the pub (Wetherspoons in Swansea??) on 4th Feb. Let us know if this does not work for you. Me and Allyson are both on Bolton the weekend before so can sort out final details there. (follow the updates and support Team APAT and Blonde Poker FTW please)

Whatever we do I can"t promise I won"t bore you all with accounts of APAT weekends and various APAT experiences.

Thanks guys for your kind words and the great team effort that made promotion possible. Well done Steve on winning the National Rankings best of luck with Champion of Champions and for the Bolton Team Event.
It would be good to get a night out sorted for Feb! I"m ok for Saturday 5th but can"t make it for Friday 4th. Most of the other weekends in Feb are ok for me except 12th 13th in case I go to the Betfair London live tournament. I don"t mind whether we play poker or not.  I"m more than happy to go to Wetherspoons or some place similar, so my preference is for the pub Saying that, I don"t mind if we do something else. Poker, Pub and Food (Indian sounds great) are all good.
Look forward to hearing lots of stories about APAT weekends lol

Congrats to Allyson on getting the team promoted and to Rodders on his national rankings success.
I"d love to meet up for a meal or poker or pub but I"m afraid I"m likely to be the spanner in the works because:
1) At the moment I work evenings until about midnight, except normally on a Monday or Tuesday.
2) I actually live in Cardiff and signed up for Swansea because was born nearer to Swansea and at the time nobody else had signed up so wanted to try to get the ball rolling as knew I"d have very little opportunity to play for either Cardiff or Swansea because of work.
So I suggest you arrange something you can all make and I"ll try to get along if I can by swapping shifts with colleagues. Happy to come down to Swansea as I"d hoped joining Swansea would give me the motivation to drop by the casinos there but so far it hasn"t.
At the moment I"m very unhappy with Betfair over an episode last Saturday when they trapped many users funds and were not paying out winnings on some tournaments. Surprisingly this rather frustrated me and I tilted with the purpose of getting rid of my paltry bankroll so that I never had to use the site again. Their customer service in rectifying the rather large error with their software has been appalling so as much as I love playing Apat tournaments and want to play for Swansea in the league I feel compelled to boycott Betfair unless they push the boat out to restore my trust in the site. Anyways, hope to see you all in one of the live Apat tournaments if not before.
Cheers Steve H

well done to everyone on their successess. i cant make the first weekend in feb as i have a wedding on the wirral, i think a meal and then some poker at aspers would be a good idea.

Hi all,

Friday 4th Feb is fine for me, Saturday 5th is more difficult.  Happy to meet/drink/eat as suggested - though, of course, I"ll have to come across from Carmarthen so might need to drive (I"ll check train timetables!).  I"d suggest that we meet up for the 1st w/e in Feb since at least some of us can make it - we can then try to make it a more regular event thereafter?

Hope to meet at least some of you then!

Cheers,

Mike

the 4th feb will be very busy in town, it is wales v england at rugby that night, if you are going for a meal you may need to book before hand. i doubt i will be there, the wedding is on the sunday and i think i will be travelling up on the friday, if not i will try my best to make it

Oh ffs - I forgot all about that.

Sorry guy"s, that"s gg to poker and food that night. I will be watching the game in some random pub somewhere (most likely Cardiff or Newport). Looks like 4th Feb was a bad day anyway.

Just come to the Bolton event next weekend!!!!! I will give you free membership to the Team APAT fan club

[newps]

how did the team event in Bolton go? is there any new suggestions for a team meet?

Glad I didn"t make any last longer bets.

Bolton was fun. The blonde team did ok, except for one person who went out the first day no prizes for guessing who that was!
