APAT UK Amateur Championship: Live Update - Day One

[APAT]

The calm before the storm....my favourite time. 

The work is largely done and a weekend full of expectation awaits.  As I write, players are travelling to Manchester from all over the UK. 

Now to see who"s weekend it is.....

Live update:  Saturday December 8th, from 2.30pm

Post your request for player chipcounts and pictures here and stay with us over the weekend as the drama unfolds.

Will we be crowning a new United Kingdom Champion on Sunday evening, or can Max Ward retain the title he won at Aspers Casino one year ago?

Sorry for delay with updates all.  We are not set up yet, and it may be another hour plus before we can bring you some updates.  I can tell you that we had 203 runners and that Stephen Lister was first out, followed closely by SovietSong and Eck.
