I just sent out the most recent newsletter for the Minnesota Straight Pool Association, and thought I would post it up here too. As you can see, straight pool is growing in the Twin Cities!

I hope to be attending some of your tournaments soon. As soon as I get my table up and running and get my groove back (it's been a while). Wish I lived closer to the cities though. League play is really what I need to get my legs back.

Congratulations and great job,
Randy
