ANNOUNCEMENT
We are proud to present………….
The AEBBA Map of all known venues in the British Isles.
Our illustrious leader Sav provided the mechanism (within GoogleMaps) to fulfil an idea originally conceived by Q, and Barbelman and tommo have jointly followed this through with great dedication with the result that some 500 venues – League and non-League – have been accurately pinpointed.
How it works.
1. Enter the AEBBA site and choose "Bar Billiard Leagues Map" from the drop-down menu.
2. Click on the venue you wish to investigate – either on the peg marker on the map, or on the list on the left, and ‘home in’ with your mouse.
3. If you keep homing in, Google Earth will eventually change to Street View and you should then be able to see the venue in all its glory! Once there, you can do a ‘virtual reality’ wander around the location.
The benefits.
· At a glance, you can map your journey to a venue you may be unfamiliar with.
· On holiday and need your regular bar billiards ‘fix’? You can now group together some venues to investigate, and plan your own pub crawl in advance!
How YOU can help.
It is our intention to maintain this Map as accurately as possible. All the information you see has been gleaned from the Forum and various Leagues’ own websites, as well as by means of internet Google searches made against ‘bar billiards’.
We realise that due to the rather ethereal nature of Bar Billiard tables these days, any particular table may not still be in-situ: So if you spot a venue which you know for certain no longer has bar billiards – or one which you think we may have missed, please let us know.
Tommo/Barbelman on behalf of the Forum Staff.
