Bob Jewett said:Around here, we have two regional pool newspapers that do a pretty good job of covering events down to the weekly room events. Because of this, I have no use for local news in a national magazine.
Isn't there any regional pool newpaper in your area?
Actually Bob, we used to have the "All About Pool" newspaper that Dawn (Meurin) Hopkins started along with a couple of tours - men's and women's up about the MA area around 1990/1991. She called them them New England Men's and Women's Tours, I believe. I'd have to get together (soon!) with Nadine Mazzola about some history points, but I do know that Dawn left her in charge and eventually Nadine left the tour in charge to Candi Rego. The magazine was in full production, I still have every copy.
Eventually, there wasn't too much participation up there so Candi started raiding the NEWT tour that Dawn had started when she moved to south NJ to become Mrs. Hopkins a couple years later. Dawn sold her interest in the AAP rag to Bob Campbell. He kept it as a magazine with all local event results and great columns from players and referees like John Delavueax, Nadine and The Monk. It was a great local mag for players!! Dawn turned over the reins of the tour to Colleen Shoop and then Colleen turned the tour over to Candi who held an unprecented 13 Regional Tour Qualifiers in one year!! Three years after that, Micaela and I were handed the reins and, since it's a 3-year jinx, I got it all.
Wow. You were only asking about a magazine, right?
Anyways.
Bob Campbell sold his subscription list to JR Calvert and then JR took over and started Inside Pool.
IP sponsors JPNEWT and talk about things coming back to the start...
But it's all good!!
