Any snooker players in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area?

Anybody here from the Twin Cities metro area play snooker? I'm looking for someone to play against. I'm still very much a beginning player, so much so that my highest break was 6. I'm looking for someone local against whom I could play and who might also be able to give me a few tips and pointers on technique and how to improve my game as we play. I prefer to play at Jimmy's Pro Billiards on Central Ave. in Columbia Heights, but I hear that Al's Billiards in St. Paul also has a couple of snooker tables, although that place looks a little sketchy to me. Let me know if you're up for a game, thanks!

There is a MN Snooker group on Facebook, but not sure if it's still active:

Some links may no longer work, but poke around on youtube and the web and you will find stuff - both good and bad. :D

If can, use a video camera when you are practicing.

There is snooker in Winnipeg if you want to take a long road trip.
Probably much more than in Minnesota. :D

Here is a private club that has a non-resident membership category, but does not mention how much it would cost.

The attraction is that it has a pro and six snooker tables.
