Snooker for young people
A NEW snooker project for vulnerable young people has been launched at Abbeydale Picture House in Sheffield.
The 'Get Cued In' initiative was launched with the help of the Paul Hunter Foundation, set up in memory of snooker pro Paul who died in 2006, aged 27, from cancer.
The weekly sessions, held every Tuesday between 7pm and 9pm, offer coaching as well as a chance to play a few frames.
Clive Jaques, vice chairman of the Abbeydale Picture House Trust, said: "Our target age group is 11 to 16-year-olds so we are trying to create a different atmosphere to your usual snooker hall – it's a very relaxed affair.
"We are trying to get kids off the street and playing snooker."
