For reasons as yet unknown, Team Singapore have pulled out of the 2012 Asia Expat Pool Challenge in Bangkok which has called for some changes, both in venue and programme, and this can be seen reflected in detail on the 2012 event page here.
The AEPC will now be held at the Rembrandt Hotel in Soi 16, Sukhumvit in Bangkok, a first class venue with each of Team Bangkok, Team Shanghai and Team Shanghai playing each other once.
In a great addition to the event, Mark Sims has just confirmed to us that Mika Immonen will be acting as Jakarta All Stars Ambassador in Bangkok!
Mika is fantastic player as those of us who were lucky enough to be present at Down Under in Jakarta a few weeks ago were able to observe at close hand.
No doubt Mika will be giving the JAS Boys a few tips – and everyone else a glimpse of his talents in some exhibition play against at least one other top class player to be announced.
G’day Tanggans,
Whilst the TBJ blossoms and goes from strength to strength, another substantial challenge approaches – and one involving quite a few of you, the Asia Expat Pool Challenge (AEPC) to be contested in Bangkok on Saturday 15th September 2012, between teams from Bangkok, Jakarta, Shanghai & Singapore. This is now little more than 4 weeks away.
Most preparations have been completed and we have benefitted greatly from the existence of the TBJ since the competition amongst Tanggans is fierce – and frequent!
We thank all who have contributed to the preparation of the Jakarta All Stars for the AEPC, and commit to applying our best pool skills to ensure we bring the trophy back to Jakarta.
For those who have enquiring minds, or who are just plain bored of the websites you usually frequent, a website for the AEPC has been established and you are invited to view it atwww.asiaexpatpool.com. There is also a link from the side panel here for future visits.
I am sure that all Tanggans will join me in wishing the Jakarta All Stars all the very best during the forthcoming AEPC tournament. They are ambassadors of the Jakarta pool leagues and living proof that we are “GETTING TO THE NEXT LEVEL”.
