Title: Notts Amateur Snooker Championships 2009/10
Post by: Malc Belshaw on 02 November 2009
Nottinghamshire Amateur Snooker

Dear All,

Notts snooker is in a rich vein at the moment thanks to the time given by the organisers of The Nazareth House Snooker League and Nottingham & Notts Institutes Association as well as One Day and Club Competitions.

Well here's another one for all Amateur Snooker Players.

The Notts Amateur Snooker Competition is now taking entries for the 2009/2010 Championships.  Last year we had 40 players enter the three competitions which was very pleasing taking into account its return after a few years absent.

We are running two scratch competitions over the 2009/2010 season.

The competitions will be based on the EASB English Club Competitions, which means it is open to anyone who is resident or plays from a club in the Nottinghamshire area, and the player must not be taking part in the WSA Main Tour.

A small committee has been set up including myself, Mr Steve Butler & Mr Alan Cunningham. (Anyone else interested please give me a call.)

Notts Amateur Main   Open to all ages                    Fee   £ 10.00

Notts Amateur Juniors   Open to players under 18 before 31/12/2009       "   £ 10.00

So far we have arranged sponsorships for the Main Competition from Mr Peter Trout @ Bulwell Church Institute & for the Juniors Competition from Mr Dave Gibson @ Beeston Snooker Hall.

CLOSING DATE: 22 DECEMBER 2009

Stewart - you've been added to the list.  I should have had you on there anyway but I forgot!

Nav - we are going to pay you 1 pence per point for your highest break so we should get quite a bit of change out of 50p!

;)

It's a very strong field.  I hear the local bookies have me at 1000-1 to beat James Moore.  There's also a sweep on the total number of flukes in your match against Nav.  I drew out 48 but I think that's a bit low!
