Happy Birthday APA, Happy Birthday PAC-MAN


PAC-MAN is a cultural icon whose popularity has crossed the globe for 30 years. An official PAC-MAN 30th Anniversary site has been created and is dedicated to telling the story of PAC-MAN through his games, gear, and accomplishments.

APA celebrates its third anniversary this month as PA-WOMEN & PA-MEN continue to join in droves; like PAC-MAN, they all face the daily challenges of the PA maze and encounter strange creatures and aggressive beasts (and the odd raspberry) along the way.

Just like the cultural icon, APA’s journey is far from over and hopes to achieve the same infamy in its next 27 years. When asked recently by a young PA what she should do to advance her career, an aging hippy Boss said “Join the pack man!”

Congratulations APA, where's the party? We need to celebrate the amazing achievements Gareth and his team have made in creating a modern, energetic, and professional association whose voice is increasingly being heard.

Thanks Tracy, we considered a party but in these tough times for the UK economy we thought we had better show support and economise. We did stretch to a 'value range' box of biscuits though for the Board meting last week!

Hi Gareth
I must admit that I wasn't being serious about a party but more shouting from the rooftops that the APA has had 3 successful years! I'm glad the Board had biscuits!

Hi Tracy,

Sorry for my strange sense of humour, I guessed you were joking. Actually, we had bourbons!
