    Where do you play etc?
    In Manchester - at a friends house

    I play mostly in Birmingham but need to start playing at a club again when I am in Manchester - most likely will go to Rileys in Prestwich

    How are the tables at Steven Charles?

      I'm not really one to say, as I have only been playing since January; and before that not since the late 70's and early 80's, mainly on a 6x3 that we had.

      I make 20's and win matches in the Weekly Comp, so they are OK for where I am at ie still trying to find a Cue Action etc....

        Popped into Steven Charles today.

        Don't think I would go again.

        Have you played snooker anywhere else? Have you noticed that the tables are higher than usual?

          Nope, I only started in January.

          The main problem is that the floor isn't level, particularly on the tables nearer the door, and knowing which tables to pick is relevant.....

                              Are Phoenix not the same too, and Trevor's look very similar too, doesn't really mean anything as they all have to buy them from somewhere ?
