OK maybe i shouldve called it the Midland Amateur Open. But either way it will be a top event, decent prize money, very good venue, and a chance for the amateurs to have a good day.

Ive put you down mate, can you bring your entry fees to PHoenix in a couple of weeks please? As for why we didnt go with this to 147, well this venue booked us (Premier Pool Promotions) months ago! So we've set this up there. If venues want these events we will run them anywhere for minimal expenses (our staff work for free). We've had no complaints so far and i get emails/calls every week from clubs. We will run an event such as this at 147 but you have to be patient young man

It's called an open as entries are on an application basis. It's in contrast to being an invitational, that's were the term comes from. I can tell you really must be from Rossendale... You even spell where you live wrong....  That better not be you nobby sheep

nice to see people using the PPP site with great frequency to pay for events. I'd imagine that it the way to go now instead of sending cheques which is just a total nightmare.
