For players and spectators alike, there are opportunities for photographs, autographs and to mingle with the professionals and to see some top quality snooker as well.
“The annual event has raised over £71,000 since 2010 and I’m hoping the professional and amateur snooker players will support it as well this year as previous years so we can hit the £80,000 mark.
Last year Jamie Jones was our champion and the year before it was Ronnie O’Sullivan. Who will be this years Pink Ribbon champion?” – Paul Mount. Founder of the SWSA.
This year there are 258 entries and play will start on Thursday 8 June and Wednesday will be used as a practice day @ £10 per hour (50% will be donated to Pink Ribbon).
The Amateur qualifying days will be an open draw with the seeded Main Tour Professionals joining the tournament on in the Last 64/128. Some of the world’s leading professionals will be in the draw alongside hundreds of amateur, junior and lady players from around the World.
Amateur players can enter the event TWICE, and double entry players will be placed in opposite halves of the draw. This provides real value for money for less experienced players who will get at least two matches and be able enjoy the great atmosphere of the event and play on our Professional STAR Tables. The unique dress code of the Pink Ribbon event means that everyone must wear a pink shirt if they wish to compete, raising awareness to the cause. Event pink polo shirts are available to buy from the SWSA website & over the bar at SWSA.
All proceeds from the event are donated to Breast Cancer Charities.
