I would like to thank Chris & Jackie of Chatham Pool & Snooker Club, for their wonderful hospitality and sponsoring the first event. I would also like to thank Andy for the amazing job he done with the Live Streaming of the tour, and for helping with brushing and Iroing of the tables between each Match. Finally I would like to thank Dominique for doing an Amazing job with refereeing and helping me at the top table with Score sheets and taking the Tour fees, we couldn’t have done this without you. I look forward to seeing every one at Event 2 at Q World Southampton.
