AndyRoss Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Any issues with payment guys , give me a PM on here and we'll try sort something out. Really hope people are able to get behind this , remember Hearts have already donated £500 so we are off to a good start. Dougie Arnott has gathered some well known faces to take part , good to know we have something to look forward to after yesterday's disapointment. The Jamie Dolan Memorial Pool Tournament Jack Daniels, Wednesday April 29 at 7pm Calling all Motherwell-supporting pool sharks… Fancy your chances on the green baize against Dougie Arnott? Reckon you could granny Stephen Craigan? Well, now's your chance. In memory of former Fir Park favourite Jamie Dolan (and with all proceeds going to his family) the inaugural Jamie Dolan Memorial Pool Tournament will take place in Jack Daniels on the evening of Wednesday, April 29 at 7pm. It costs £10 to enter and gives 64 Motherwell fans the chance to play pool against your claret and amber heroes. The winner on the night, whether it's the punter who sits in Row D of the Cooper Stand or the guy who scored our winner in the 1991 Cup Final, will lift the first ever Jamie Dolan Memorial Pool Tournament trophy PLUS an extra-special prize kindly donated by Motherwell FC. The night also gives fans the opportunity to chat with Motherwell stars past and present over a beer and, with about 50 TV screens in Jack Daniels, you won't miss a kick of the ball when Man Utd play Arsenal in the Champions League. There will also be a prize raffle on the night with lots of unique MFC items up for grabs. So, even if you don't play pool, why not come along and support a good cause. It promises to be a great night in memory of Jamie. You can confirm your place by paying £10 online to alistair@welltrust.net or if you don't have paypal contact welltrust@live.co.uk to arrange alternative payment. Remember there are only 64 places so act quickly to secure your place Official Site story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyRoss Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Dropped into Daniels yesterday to watch Man United , noticed that it is 2 bottles of beer for £4 during the week , that includes Bud , Corona and a few others. Also got a fair few impressive raffle prizes , including a jersey from the Dougie Arnott testimonial , a signed 'Zoom' strip from a few years back (where else could you get Zoom branded products these days?) , passes for the Hampden Experience and much more to be confirmed over the course of the week. 'TheRam89' - I'll send out your email as soon as I can. I dpn't have access to the Paypal account , but hopefully will by the end of the day.

Neil Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 What about folk just looking to go along to watch the football and have a laugh, will it be a donation on the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah Neil , everyone is more than welcome to come along , watch the footie have a banter with the players etc. There will be buckets for donations at the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Should be a good night, can I also ask, why a pool tournament? A very good idea, and a bit different from the normal race night etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 It was Tam Cowan's idea. As you say it is something a bit different and hopefully it will tempt a decent number along on the night. There also have been a lot of bigger events recently (even this year there has already been the Phil O'Donnell Sports Dinner and the night at the Mega Bar.) This is a lot less formal.

patnevin Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hey, are there still places left for this? I would love a place in this (sent you an email about this also btw). What's the format of the tournament? 1 frame knock out? best of 3? etc. What rules are yous playing? Blackball league rules or just normal pub ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've just replied to your email. I presume it would be just the usual pub rules , is that what most are used to? It will be one game knockout due to time restrictions on the night , you win one game you will progress to play a current/former player.

patnevin Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 sounds good, will need to get practicing Brian Martin came to our Pool league charity do in East Kilbride last year, and played some doubles with me and some of the other guys, but if the other players are anything like him I don't think yous need to worry to much about the standard...

patnevin Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 That's my £10 paypaled Andy, look forward to it. Guess it's best just to play pub rules, but would be an idea to print out a couple of basic "rules" sheets to ensure everyone knows and there isn't anyone upset, as there will be guys that are all used to playing different rules i.e 1 or 2 shots on the black if it's a foul.

AndyRoss Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Alistair just emailed me to confirm that has went through fine. Good idea with the rules , will sort that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Filled a good number of spaces today - hopefully will have posters up in various places around the toon in the not too distant future. The quicker 64 fan names are filled the less time you'll have to read my attempts to fill spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
