The proprietor of a new place set out his criteria

"It’s nice and luxurious and I wanted somewhere that mothers and fathers wouldn’t feel that they would worry about their kids no matter what their age was, whether they were boys or girls coming into the place"

in contrast to others

"some of the clubs in the city centre weren’t like that at all. There was spit in the floor joints, you couldn’t see through the smoke you know to see who was in there"

"i wanted a place that would have nice leather chairs, leather couches, a plasma screen at every table"

"That’s the type of club that we have and a lot of mothers and fathers have been here, a lot of juniors coming in."

"I want a membership club where members felt like it was their club and they could find someone to play with."

"we want to give the opportunity to kids who might not like football or golf or rugby, may not like physical sports"

"a facility there that they can use and get coaching, have some junior tournaments that will inspire them, get little medals or trophies."

Compare the prices in this economic basket case.
Membership 99 euros about $130.00
Table - 20 euros/hour in prime time

Opened in May. Will it survive?

The price is a little steep unless members get a discount.

I see he is offering a 5-day clinic for only $300 or so. That's a great deal.
 
I suspect that Ken would give measureman and other cranky children cookies, and milk with a dram of Irish whiskey to settle them down. Can't have their whining disturbing the serenity of snooler. :smile:
