The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) is thrilled to announce that the ‘Introduction to Snooker’ classes in support of Parkinson’s UK will be taking place at the Elite Snooker Club in Preston between March and May.

Seven host clubs around the UK, associated with the 147 Club Scheme, had initially been confirmed, with the Elite Snooker Club in Preston now raising this number to eight.

The workshops, which take place between February and May, will engage with local Parkinson’s UK groups to give free two-hour sessions conducted by WPBSA coaches delivering basic-level, fun snooker coaching, as well as recreational group play and the opportunity to socialise with fellow group members.

The WPSBA’s Head of Coaching and Training Development, Chris Lovell, will host the sessions in Preston, with the first taking place at 12:30 on Monday, March 18.
