Hi Andy, can you please stick in Ben Moore, Tony Weafer and myself please?

Just to confirm my Facebook acceptance, put me on here too please pal!

I'm in Andy.

Oh wow! 20 players means £400 towards my £5000.00 target, come on guys get your names down and max this comp out!......lets make 2012 the year we show Macmillan we mean business and raise more money then we ever have before.

I thank you all for the support you continue to give.

Andy - YOU LEGEND!

Phil

Hi Andy

Just to let you know i have organised a mini bus (there and back) to take any player wishing to travel from Leicester (Pick up/drop off outside Rack n Roll) for this tourny. If you wish to book a seat the cost is £10 for the return journey.

The owner has agreed to do it for cost, so after fuel and the cost of the driver if there is anything left over, that too will be added to the fundraising.

After speaking to several players yesterday i'd expect to bring at least a dozen or more.I'll sort names and confirmation asap.

Anyone else looking for a lift locally feel free to jump on.

Ps: Good job organising the tourny Andy, and Phil, owt we can do to reach or best your target we will, good luck.

Tone

That's fantastic Tone, thanks so much for your support - Mark would have been overwhelmed with the response to this in just a couple of days.

Very kind, such a gentleman! It's times like these that you realise what a GREAT family of pool players we have!!

I would really like to play but i have a project completion on the Sunday, it slurps.

I played in a T9 comp today and they did a lovely tribute to Mark, with everyone taking it turns to pot a 9 Ball in his honour.

Dave Keown in please Andy

In support of the Macmillan trust set up for Mark I am going to do either a 24 or 48 hour match. If this is something that appeals to anybdoy please let me know. Maybe will start a new thread on this, if Andy would prefer me to.

I'll play ya Barry

And the match is possibly set...your experience would help me through as ive never done 24 hours before. Reckon you can do 48 though?

Why so short....72 is better!!!!!!

I dont know how Ill cope with 24 its unknown territory especially as Im awaiting diagnosis on a sleep disorder possibly narcolepsy, let alone 48 and certainly let alone 72

How about trying to break gareth Steeles world record?
