Our thoughts are with the whole family circle.
You are in our thoughts at this very sad time Michael
It will probably be of no surprise to you that the 2020-2021 Northern Ireland Individuals (all categories) are now cancelled. The Championships were due to be held in late October and early November in Antrim Sports Club.
Everyone who paid by PayPal will receive a full refund of all fees paid over the next couple of days.
Could anyone who paid their fees by Bank Transfer please send their Name, Sort Code and Account Number to Gillian Rolston on Messenger to receive their refunds.
We are all gutted and can only hope we will all get back to playing Pool in the not too distant future.
Meanwhile everyone take care

*** PLEASE NOTE AMENDED DATES ***
We are delighted to announce that we have confirmed arrangements for the 2020-2021 Northern Ireland Individual Blackball Championships which were originally postponed due to the Covid 19 Virus. Obviously these dates are dependent on the ongoing situation in the country and guidance from Stormont.
Our thoughts are with the whole family circle at this very sad time.

ANNOUNCEMENT
It is with a heavy heart that we inform you know that a decision
has been taken to cancel the Northern Ireland Individual Championships &
Willie Lucas Super 7s weekend due to be held in the Lodge Hotel from 23-25th
October. With the current Covid 19 restrictions and legislation and continued uncertainty, it would just not be feasible to hold this as planned.
We are currently looking at all other options and we will update
you as soon as we can but the safety of our members has to be paramount.
Anyone who had booked a room in the Lodge Hotel, please cancel as
soon as possible as they cannot be sure who all was staying for the
competition.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact us via
email or private message.
Hope to catch up with you all soon.
Gillian (Secretary)
The Committee of the NIPA would like to pass on our condolences to member Greg Stevenson on the passing of his father Robert on Thursday 13th August.
