Part 2 - Snooker Championship.

One of the selling points in doing 6 Ft this year was that Tom had promised me a stay at Megalong Valley that came complete with a snooker table. Well in my younger days Snooker was a close 2nd to footy for me (mis spent youth) so i was eager to get back on the Green Baize and take a few bob from the boys.
My excitement soon turned though when i saw possibly the worst excuse for a table i have ever witnessed, it was in fact a pool table and it was that rough a 'Victor' Lawnmower wouldn't have looked out of place on top of it. The Cloth was that long i thought i saw Tarzan swing through it later in the evening (found out it was in fact Conor Kane dancing ).
Anyway after a good feed and enough beer on board to sink a ship we were on for a few frames. Biggest improver of the tour must be Tucks who first whipped Tom and Kanser in no time. Tom was struggling, said he couldn't see the table due to him forgetting his lenses. Personally i think it was the 17 bottles of beer he had consumed throughout the evening. Started the evening ranked 2 , but was sliding quicker then his running and come Sunday was only just ahead of son Charlie ranked at 6.
Kanser was next up and looked good - well he was setting up the table before it all went pair shaped and was soon reading the days papers on another break, cursing and nearly wrapping the cue around the coffee table.
A good old night had , and think i have been rewarded with my patience with HuRTS #1 Tucks on the pool table and look forward to our next HuRTS night out , Pity old Richie High when he gets back though and i suggest he starts looking for a new partner after witnessing Tom's woeful performance. :)

One Final highlight of the weekend , was the supply of the weekends DVDs, Annie the Musical was the favored for the kids ,and was surprised when Tucks told me he didn't know the story of our young Orphan?
That was soon rectified when it was played constantly for the next 48 hours on high rotation - So much so that Tucks hasn't stopped singing the theme since, So don't be to worried if he runs by you singing 'Tomorrow, tomorrow' at Tuesdays session :)

Thanks All involved for a great weekend away and look forward to next years event as well - Lets just pray it rains as heavy next year as well :)

Hope we managed to leave the table in its original condition as we found it ?
