COBLA Co-Blackpool 2019 Saturday October 12th

Post by DJ Marky Mark »

Event Information
After a successful first ever Co-Blackpool in 2018, we are back for another BIG ONE and its a PLEASURE to invite you back to the BEACH for COBLA 2 for another RIDE in the BIG ONE. Last year was won by homester Jack Worsley beating Bradley Horrocks in the final. Our event is played Lincoln Style with 3 players drawn to a table with one hosting whilst the other two play each other until all three players have played against each other. This year we have a new venue at the Millisies home base in St Annes on Sea at The Mayfield Pub on Mayfield Road.. The pub has two snooker tables,1 pool table and two dart boards. Drinks are cheap too. bar will be open from 12 noon. Free Tea and coffee available until the bar opens. Myself Mark Mills will be your host once again which pleases me as I am a better host than a player :lol: :lol: :lol: Play will start at 11am and doors open at 10am with the draw at approx 10:45, we plan to have a quiz in the lunch break also. Entry Fee is just £10 this year.

Night Time Entertainment
I have arranged a very good Karaoke DJ for the evening from 8pm, so lets have some fun and stay after the tournament with cheap beer and singing, Take-away with delivery can be arranged on the night from a very good food delivery place and are welcome to eat in venue.

Sunday Pleasure Beach Fun
Fancy a Countdowners fun day on The Pleasure Beach, a day of fun should be a great laugh.

You can pay me in person or Pay Pal me at paypal.me/markmills333 £10 entry, please select family friends as payment option if it shows up.

Yes they are, they can take part too, if they not playing then as long as they do not disturb other players and do not run around the pub, our event finishes around 5:30pm and children are ok in the pub till 9pm.

Just paid. Didn't give me the option to choose between business and friends though, so I hope it hasn't deducted you - apologies if it has.
Possibly the first contestant to accelerate with a mic clipped...
