I recently came in to possession of an old Sams BB table, I am restoring it at the moment,.. searching on-line for info and parts lead me here to BBB... Bar Billiards was played in pubs all over Ireland up to the 70's, until the introduction of Pool. There is only 1 working BB table in my area, and that pub only opens occasionally in order to retain its license. I read with interest about the upcoming World BB chps. in Jersey, I'm thinking how great it would be to bring a contingent from Ireland to compete there... maybe next year... There are no direct flights from Ireland to Jersey at that time of year, so getting there is difficult and will need some planing...maybe next year...

A former Guernsey Player has moved to Drogheda and travels to Guernsey and Sussex to play in their Opens. Are you anywhere near him because i am sure he would love to meet up for a game?

Hi Red0055,
Oge told me you were interested in maybe starting up Bar Billiards, I am living in Drogheda.
I would be interested in hearing more as I would also be interested in getting involved.
You can contact me at lemorellec@gmail.com, maybe email contact details and we can meet up for a few games.

And if Stormin finds a partner I'd partner Muzza to kick the pairs of. Looks like we may have the start of a new open.

Jason I sense a Guernsey v Ireland International coming on :o :o :o Hi Jason, I will contact u soon via email, we can meet up somewhere in Dublin if that suits, I will send u my number. Hi Guys, Thanks for all your positive and upbeat reply's, but at the moment its just an idea, I'm just 1 guy with 1 table. I've already spoken with some interested parties, and I'm trying to muster some support for the idea. Guernsey v Ireland...Cornwall v Ireland...Brilliant, we'll take on all-comers :) ;) ;D ... would be great if we could put it together, we have to get organized here first and that will take some time. Watch this space, and we'll see what develops.. Regards to all.. Red0055
