Are Pontin's going to be ok to continue supporting snooker and holding tournaments now without the qualifiers being there?

[Maxi]

was sent an email new dates are now

Event 2 7th-9th January 2011
Event 3 21st-23rd January 2011
Event 4 11th - 13th February 2011

I believe this to be correct

And Event 4 are the finals? Or will they be later on?

[MattWilson]

I would imagine that Pontins will struggle to keep the tables in great condition. After all, now that the PIOS and qualifiers have moved, there will only be festivals and these pro-ams being played there. I cannot see them getting much (if any) help from WSA to maintain the quality of the tables.

My guess is they will get a big fat zilch, if previous experience is anything to go by.

[ryanc147]

i think the finals are at a different date, im going this weekend and i will try and find out the exact details and report back next week

[ryanc147]

its a shame some of the easb events can't be held there i know its a bit of a journey for me but the tables are very good and so are the snooker facilities, better than some clubs we went to last year

[MattWilson]

Ryan, as Prestatyn is in Wales, it would make more sense for the Welsh Amateurs to be held there! I'm not too sure they would consider an approach from the EASB!!!

But if Gloucester or Sheffield could come up with something, that would be much better.
