I don"t want to cause any panic but ......

As I live within a reasonable distance and as I"ve not been to Aspers before I thought I"d go this weekend to register in advance and play a regular tourney to get familiar with surroundings. I rang them up to check what ID I"d need and what poker tourneys were on this weekend. The girl was very helpful but said - they have no record of the APAT tourney the following weekend.

I assume this was just a lack of communication or has anybody else had same feedback ?  

Something along these lines happened to me last weekend in Luton. I asked about the APAT event later on in the year, but they also had no record...

This seems to be standard operational procedures for most UK Casinos. Reception has no idea of any upcoming events other that the cabaret acts

Hopefully this is the case

Many thanks. Panic over.

I received the following email from betfair on 2nd March, but haven"t received any more info. Should I have?

"Congratulations on securing your seat to the Welsh Amateur Championships.

The Welsh Amateur Championships is a two day event, starting on 20th March at Aspers Casino, Swansea.

More information will be available on the APAT website nearer the date, and will be sent to you via email."


- Is there a list of players I can see for the Swansea event?

- I heard the NCP car park next to the casino has a sign saying that it closes at 11.59pm. Does anyone know if that means no more cars in after that time or no cars in or out? Don"t really want to sleep in the car until they open the barriers in the morning!!

APAThetic has asked half of my question for me but can APAT confirm the following?

When will the final numbers be known and made public for the Amatuer Event?
When will the player briefing be issued?
What will the prize structure be? Has this changed from last year?
How many seats are available for the Amatuer event at the UK Open in April not including those "held back" - i.e. how many are up for grabs via the satellites & Click Fest?
Who invented liquid-soap and why?

Thanks is advance

Thanks for that Keith. I phoned casino and they confirmed that they would give us a code to get through the door into the car park after midnight and then the "shutters" would open to let your car out when you enter your parking ticket at the exit.

Only concern now is finding the entrance to the car park...dodgy one-way system apparantly and finding a space at midday on a Saturday

Player briefing will be out in the next couple of days

Who invented liquid-soap and why? Everyone wants to take credit for this, I doubt we"ll ever get the truth

Thanks is advance

Who invented liquid-soap and why?

OK, it was me...but I"ve washed my hands of it already.

I played at Aspers last year and as there was a hefty queue at reception they just waved non members through saying reg later if you cash. I walked through with a smile on my face only for it to be wiped off later when i hit the promotional 888 on the 3 card poker table 3 TIMES losing a potential £24 of boozing money
