Dear Players & Fans,
Snookers Billiards Sports Bar & Grill (Providence R.I.) and Mike Zuglans Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour are proud to present the 3rd Annual New England Pool & Billiards Hall Of Fame Ray Desell Memorial 9-Ball Open. Along with the actual tournament which will take place on Saturday March 3 & Sunday March 4, there will be a Hall of Fame presentation ceremony on Friday evening March 2 at 6pm. All inductees will receive plaques in the New England Pool & Billiards Hall Of Fame which is located, maintained and funded by Snookers. This is just one more way that our hosts Regina & Steve Goulding continue to show their devotion and generosity to our sport. Also, Tom McGonagle deserves much credit for his time and effort in gathering the information, pictures and supervising the inductee process.
Snookers is also one of the best restaurants in the Providence area. Check them out at www.snookersri.com and thanks again to Steve & Regina for putting up the $3,000 added, and once again allowing us the use of their great room for our event. Trophies will be awarded to the top 2 finishers in the main event. Also, Whether you come to play, or just watch, you will have the opportunity to win a gorgeous, custom, engraved, Joss Cue valued at over $1000, by participating in the Snookers cue raffle. Anyone can participate and you don't have to be present to win! The drawing will be just prior to the final match of the main event on Sunday. So come on down and play and win, watch for free, have some great food and drink, and take a chance at a $1,000 Joss Cue. It doesn't get much better than that!!
For those of us in need of motel accommodations, Regina has arranged for a $109 + tax double occupancy rate at the nearby (walking distance) Host Hotel Marriot, 1 Orms St, Providence RI, 02904. 1-866-807-2171. The promo code for this rate is Snookers.
