Sav I think it's great that this is happening.... some very welcome income for AEBBA and a chance to promote our game as well. Good luck KT, knock 'em dead.

Ring Ring Ring Ring "Hello KT, how are you" "Hi Dave, I'm fine, I just cant get into the stadium, they won't let me in" "Don't worry I have contact details at home, I can call the house and see if I can them" Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring "Hello" Good job my kids are light sleepers Panic over so he got into stadium. Amazing how they didn't recognize him

It went great thanks. It`s amazing how many people don`t know about our game. I spent more time explaining the rules and most basic shots. As for promoting Bar Billiards, we`ll have to see over the 3 weeks what comes of it. The company who sponsored this particular event (one of thousands it seems throughout the Stadium) BGE insurance, wanted a pub theme, therefore turned the Land of Hope and Glory bar into a pub. The games section which also included Darts (Andy Fordham attending) and Table Football (Sarah Brice, 6th in the world) was away in one of the corners, plenty of room though. Although there was a video being taken, I think it will only be for internal use for the company There was plenty of interest in all three sports, although the punters seemed to think that it would be easy to beat young Sarah at the Football They were in for a shock, even playing 2 against 1, she still managed to beat allcomers easily, amazing skills. We chatted during the afternoon and she suggested trying to combine our sports in some sort of event. More talk needed on that I think. It would be great if more companies did this sort of thing, more incombe for AEBBA and more publicity for the game. We`ll see what happens

Have not heard anything from the weekend.
I collected the table today (once I got the workman off who was sitting on it) and can tell you anything you wish to know about the inside of the lift as I had nearly an hour in it to examine every detail!!
