Last September/October I spent 10 days out in the fantastic Isle of Man providing live coverage of the Festival of Pool from the wonderful setting of the Villa Marina in Douglas.
Whilst out at Bridlington recently for the EBA Blackball World Pool Masters, I had a good chat with festival promoter Ross McInnes about the potential for this years festival.
Well as a quick heads up I can tell you that the festival goes ahead at the same time as last year (25th Sept-4th Oct) and this one will be bigger and better in a number of ways. The festival last year was not as big as it could have been as the European Championships were being held in Selsea at the same time.
Well, that is the first change, the European Championships will be in the Isle of Man during the course of the festival.
In addition a new competition will also be played to give a more international flavour to the event and the Blackball game. South Africa are sending a team over and will compete against a team from Europe in the inter-continental cup.
All of this action will be offered live on CueSport TV over the 10 days.
