Snooker Legands Reading
On Monday myself and a few guys from Swindon made our way to The Snooker Legends in Reading, just a short hop down the road from Swindon where we are based.
The VIP reception started at 6:30 where we had a chance to speak to the players and Michaela before the event kicked off and get a few autographs.
For those of you not familiar with Jesters Snooker Hall in Swindon below is Paul Rose our club coach with Michaela and below that one of the owners of the club Brad Baker with Michaela.

At the start of the night Paul Rose was a little anxious as this is the first Snooker event he has been to! surprising ....... well not really, Paul has been the club coach for around 20 years now and he dedicates every weekend to helping the young snooker players at the club so not a lot of time to goto a Snooker competitions when you give so much of your free time away for the good of the game.

The actual Snooker was great, you would not see anything like it at a sanctioned WPBSA event, although it was treated like a competition it was more of a exhibition style, with Michaela Tabb moving ball on the table and telling the players and I quote "That was a crap shot" which made the evening even more enjoyable.
The Hexagon is quote a large theater to fill and I was surprised at the number of people there for a non televised event but after actually going to one of these I can see why some of the venues are sold out.
Put it this was it changed a mans expression form this
To This......
Or was that just Michaela's doing!

On returning to Swindon we even had enough time to go for a curry and get back home by 1:30am so all in all a great night.
Thanks to Jason and the great team at Snooker Legends for a great night of entertainment and I hope to go to a few more of these next year.

Here are a few images that Jason has just sent me from the Plymouth evening with guest star Ray Reardon.
