Hello from the States!

[bryanchicken]

I'm actually British, nobody plays over here from what i can tell

I live here permanently now and with land/property prices being what they are vs the UK i'm hoping one day to get my own "potting shed" or similar. The hardest part will probably be sourcing a table and installation. Not very far down that path though.

I played my entire life up until maybe 18 or so. I started to lose full-blown passion for the game around 16 i'd say. I played sporadically during my 20s and alas have only managed to play a handful of times in the last 5-6 years (my 30s).

I was an ok junior player, getting up to a high break of 135. I got to the quarters or semis (i can't remember now) of one of the national "Under" X tournaments at one point and was "district" champion at one point, which i'm guessing probably doesn't even exist any more.

I've been enjoying reading some of the garden shed installs around here.

Anyway, i'll probably hang around every so often, especially during the pro tournies which i have to stream nowadays

Were you an immigrant to the United Kingdom?

[bryanchicken]

No. British with British parents. I moved to the States due to marriage.

Great intro . Welcome to TSF

There is snooker being played in the USA, it just depends where you live. I believe their website is snookerUSA.com but not certain and on there they list all the snooker tables in the US.

Hi Terry, yeah i was being facetious with my "nobody plays here comment". Alas where i am it might as well be so. I found one full size table in the state, actually in my town, using www.findsnooker.com.
Alas that whole pool room has gone now in favour of a trendy bar, sigh. I think i was the only person that ever used it for it's real purpose (others would use it for pool when the regular pool tables were all in use). Got some very confused looks and a lot of questions the couple of times i did get to use it. It also was not a very good table, at all.

The website only lists one other 12 footer in the State and it's not actually true
