Everyone is invited to help raise money and have some fun by watching or playing in a 10 hours Bar Billiards Marathon at the United Services Club, 6-8 Wivelsfield Road, Haywards Heath, RH16 4EG. On Sunday 6th October 2013 from 10am till 8pm. Please come along and play 1 game only, or 10 games, or however many you fancy, as the more players we have the more enjoyable and relaxed it will become
I am attaching a copy of the Sponsership Form for anybody seriously interested but otherwise it would be great to just see you turn up and play a game, or watch, or barrack , but always bring cash along as all donations will go to the Help for Heroes Charity.
Doesn't matter which league or county you play for, we will be pleased to see you all ( no sleeping arrangements at the Club )
BTW there will also be Darts and Pool Marathons happening (Pool tabled to be set-up on the Dance Floor and might suit some players I know ), and maybe Snooker too on the Sunday, and is part of 3 days of fund raising events at the Club 4th, 5th & 6th to celebrate the Club's 40th Anniversary in Wivelsfield Road.

Well, zero in the way of response so far. So let me 'bump' the thread for you so save it being swamped by others. Such a nice club, such a worthy cause.Yes, I intend to drop in for a few hours, and will be armed with: a) an extra peg.
b) a chess set and clock. (Suggest 30 minute games, a pound stake, and I pay double if anyone beats me. All proceeds to the charity.)

I have no idea if there will be any chess players there but it is well worth the try. and many thanks for the bump, and intend to do so myself from time to time. cheers Graham

Well, I thought that as you have presumably only the one table (the club's) - hopefully in constant use throughout the day - this could be a sideline event.
If there is going to be room I could bring more than one set (I own about a dozen but could bring my best three along).

..... many thanks for the bump, and intend to do so myself from time to time. cheers Graham Have you had much interest from the bar billiards community for this Graham ? I saw it as a good opportunity to "catch up with some old friends" - only it's a long way to come if nobody else is going to be there !

Hi Clive, would like very much for it to be a catch up session as well but tbh not many have been positive in response, mostly uncertain but I can hope that they come along anyway. I very much hope to see you there but can understand your reserve

Just to say that Sparky's event seemed to go off well enough with the regular team and the WAGs in attendance for most of the day...........
I enjoyed it very much and the afternoon shot by so quickly: We had a brief 4-Pin interlude and Sparky was able to beat me - twice - and Mick Kirwan in particular also demonstrated an aptitude for this version of the game.
Thanks for the invite, and hopefully the fundraising part matched the other marathons taking place in the Club at the same time.
tommo

I would like to say how much I enjoyed my all to brief visit on the day, wedged between 18 holes of golf and watching my beloved Mighty Blues. I was impressed that a simple bribe enabled me to jump the Queue. Regards Shaun
