Looking forward to this announcement.  While bluesq software left some to be desired, there is no doubt that the added value in the GUKPT seats, made the APAT's even more appealing to many people!  Im sure APAT will do a great job in finding the right sponsor!

Good job Neil and congrats Mair - best of luck.

I too would like to thank BlueSquare for their support over the last 2 years. The added value they have provided to members has been great and sometime us players lose sight of that when moaning about software issues and the like. wp gg gl.

Thanks also to Neil. Glad that he"s still going to be playing the APAT events thus providing further added value  ;)

Congratulations Mary. I am sure your commitment to APAT will be a great help with the further developments during season 4 and beyond.

Really looking forward to the Season 4 announcement, thanks to BSQ, I for one really enjoyed the incentive of a GUKPT seat, and actually play most on BSQ.
Good luck to Mary, and a big thanks to Neil.

Hi all,
Well, I"m both excited and frustrated.  I have only joined APAT yesterday and after pouring through loads of posts, i feel that i have made totally the right decision in joining.
I look forward to the next season and am hoping top play as part of the Plymouth Team (Team Guzz!).
That"s the excitement  ::), now for the frustration  >:(!
I want NEED to get going!  I was just about to start downloading the Blue Square software last night when i checked the forum and found out that APAT will not be using BSQ this season.  So i await the announcement for which software i should download.
Just one thing though.  If only announcing parts of information (like not using Blue square and the possibility of a divisional system) is intentionally for building suspense, then well done!  It"s worked, I"m on the edge of my seat and glad i joined!

Thank you.

Jon

I wait patiently for Season 4 announcements, and a new sponsor to boot. I hope the new partnership will prove as successful as Blue Sq over the last 2 years.

Big thanks and best wishes to Neil for his hard work, help and support, particularly during the League games.

Congrats to Mair on her new position, best of luck.  :)

You"ll get used to it Jon.  It"s not always intentional to drip feed info, behind the scenes a lot of things have to get sorted before we can make announcements regarding season 4.

Although Des does take great pleasure in building up the suspense.  If it makes you feel any better, it"s a lot worse when you know what the plans are and you can"t tell anyone yet or talk about it.  ;)

We had a long conference call last night going through plans.  I can share some of it with you all though :-

Des:   Welcome to APAT Season 4.
The first rule of APAT Season 4 is: you do not talk about APAT Season 4.
The second rule of APAT Season 4 is: you DO NOT talk about APAT Season 4!
Third rule of APAT Season 4: if someone yells "stop!", goes limp, or taps out, the event is over.

Mary:   What have I joined up to ?

Ian:   Don"t worry, Des always does this.  He gets bored after rule eight.

Des:   Fourth rule: only two guys to an event. Fifth rule: one event at a time, fellas.

Leigh:   Errr, Des.  We"ll have to adjust those two rules now Mary is onboard.

Des:   Sixth rule: the events are bare knuckle. No shirt, no shoes, no weapons.

Ian:   Err, Des.  Maybe adjust that one too.  Then again..........

Des:   Seventh rule: events will go on as long as they have to (Remember Walsall ?). And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at an APAT Season Conference call, you have to do a Tikay impression for the group.

Leigh:   So Mary, what do you think ?   It was too much for Neil, but that"s in the past now.

Ian:   Mary, are you still there ?

Des:   Hmmmm, maybe it was too much too soooooooooooooon.   ;)

A big WELCOME to the APAT "Family" (Was that my Tony Soprano impression ?) to you Jon. You will shortly (ps - I"m a bit of a comedian, isn"t it!)  find you make lots of new friends and improve your own game through these people........but just steer clear of the famous BLACK COUNTRY POKER CLUB  ;D


Why does everyone keep saying this?  It pops up alot on the forum!  ???

Des being a comedian - his favourite word is s-o-o-n, so he just had a bit of script run every time someone used the word and it replaced it with.... soon  :D
