The Newmarket & Cambridge facebook pagewww.facebook.com/groups/1039436496241299/ copy and paste. facebook pageJust to tell you all that we have started a FB page so that anyone looking for a table can look up the facebook page. evenyually we want to announce competitions on there. League dates etc if we are lucky! I give the three pin tables a mention, where they are and who they are. I hope that The White Swan at Stow-cum-Quy which is just 1 mile in total off the A14 just N.E of Cambridge will take a Jelks imminently and then Dave Lillee can play a game on his way home from work everytime he goes to the Midlands! It should go in within the week. It's a beautiful jelks with a 20 year old cloth completely unused on it. It plays well just needs a little extra in the 'prodding' department! we already have our first fun KO up at The Townhouse in Ely for the locals. It would be nice to have the occasional traffic on there from those of wisdom ......and I'm still looking....! Taffy

Thumbs up from me though for your efforts in trying to make b/bs take off in the area.

I guess you have to be a FB user! I like the subject lines on a web site but the photo facilities are poor (anywhere, not being specific) but FB is greart for getting photos and videos up. the chat is lost pretty much straight away so it has it's disadvantages.
Steve; We may have struck some luck last night, met Brett who resides in Cambridge now but still comes back for a league game for the White Horse. looks like Brett is going to be a helpful chap!
cheers

I need to sit down with Brett, as he is a whizz on the computer side of things and try and get a Billiards scoring app designed. Try and help progress the game into the 21st century a bit..... |

 A Newmarket Journal clipping I found yesterday of the Newmarket & BSE 'Finals Night' Circa 1991-1994. Not sure of any of it now! The man on the right ran the league named 'Rene' I think, his wife is 4th in, They came form the Kirtling Beehive near Newmarket. From my local, the Tharp Arms, Chippenham we have Malaysian 'John' in the front and balding behind him our landlord Tom. Slightly hidden behind John is Colin Baxter. I am infront of a picture frame of 3x3 cards. It looks amazing and successful doesn't it yet within 36-12 months the whole league has stopped. I can only conclude that Rene*** became ill perhaps and his wife cared for him (or vice-versa) and nobody else took the league on? ***Finals night the year before Rene was scoring the singles final between the guy in the Sweater from Saxon Street Reindeer and the Tharp's Andy Pollard at the Afflek Arms in Dalham. 'Sweater' went into an unassailable 1,500 lead and left nothing. Moments later Rene collapses ON the table! The game stops and he is helped to his seat and an ambulance appears later. Rene was eventually 'OK'. Fresh game then, sweater gets nothing and Andy Pollard clears up this time!  Taffy |
