 We  are sorry that we were unable to hold the Bob Mason Open this year.  This was due to a very full callendar else where and of course the  change of hands & renovations occuring at Woking. We're pleased to  advise you that the new owners of Woking, which will now be "Jimmy  Whites Sports Lounge" (JWSL) have indicated that they will be happy for  the Bob Mason Open to return next year at JWSL. We hope to run this  & perhaps other tournaments at JWSL which promises to be an exciting  new sporting destination in Woking. 

In  other news, I'm delighted to be working once again with Clive Brown  & the Pink Ribbon, returning for its second year at Landywood  Snooker Club. The dates this year are  5th - 9th September , 2025 , but please note entries will be closing on 25th August , 2025 at noon AND NOT the 29th August  as mentioned in some places. Dont miss out on playing in this great  annual Pro-Am which is actually the worlds biggest Pro-Am! Last year  professional players such as Kyren Wilson, Stuart Bingham , Chris  Wakelin, Martin O'Donnell, Ben Woollaston & Joe O'Connor joined  amateurs from the length and breath of the UK and beyond for what was a  great event. Think you have what it takes to beat a pro?  Well, why not  have a go?  

You  can enter once for £40 or buy two entries for £70 and remember , this  event is, as it has done every year, rasing money for Breast Cancer  Awareness.

Hope to see many of you up at Landywood 🙂

Our founding values were simple. We wanted to make snooker more accessible , fairer, more inclusive and a level playing field for all. If you have the talent , NOTHING should stop you succeeding. The reality of snooker couldn’t be further from this though. Arrogance, unfairness , 'jobs for the boys', breath taking hypocrisy and back stabbing are the normal and we've had enough of it. 

 
No one owns snooker and if anyone out there thinks they do, its about time they were educated as to their error. Snooker would be nothing at all without the thousands of amateur players, clubs, leagues etc and the millions of supporters around the world and especially in the UK. 

 
Its no good us just begging for money off a few kind individuals to help players pay for a train ticket, an entry to an event etc. Its not enough and anyway, all of the money genuine people are spending on such things is being used for free holidays etc by those who currently run snooker. 

 
Anything we do, and organisations like us do, is kept quiet and ignored by the those that control the game. Its not enough for them to succeed, everyone else must fail. It sickens us when we see those interviews on TV where these people try and con fans all over the world that they actually care about the game and its grass roots. They couldn’t care less about the game. They couldn’t care less about the vast majority of players and they couldn’t care less about the millions of fans. 

 
Change of tactic required

 
Snookerz is close to agreeing a change of ownership with a major brand, who like us, is sick to death of the way the game is being destroyed by people that couldn’t give two hoots about the game . In the interim we will continue to support those that promote and really do try to help grass roots snooker, and we'll keep you updated regarding the sale. If it happens, the long overdue shake up of this game and hopefully bucket loads of karma will come to pass.

 
Thank you. 

SNOOKERZ is delighted to announce that this years Snookerz Open will be held at the Reading Crucible on the 3rd and 4th May.
