Calling all pool hustlers!

20th June 2014/in Events /by Martin

Sign up for Ambition’s national championship in October
No matter whether they’re based around a football team or provided for young carers, whether they’re in the heart of the city or the rural depths of the county, the one thing that a great number of our affiliated clubs have in common is a very popular pool table!

Now comes the chance for all our Mark Selbys and Rocket Ronnies in the making to get together and find out who’s the king or queen of the spots and stripes.

Ambition, one of our national charity partners involved with clubs for young people, has just announced its annual Pool Championship in partnership with the English Pool Association

to be held on Saturday 18 October 2014 at Club 147 in Leicester.

Our county rounds will be held in September – keep an eye on the website for more information and the chance to sign up.
