Here is a link to some photo's of the recently renovated Downeys Bar ..incorporating "Sugar Niteclub" and the "Poolworks"....which has to be the best poolhall in Ireland. http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc57/poolsh4rk1/Past champions include Jon Wims,Pat Holtz and Darryl Peach. Tommy Donlon and Chris Melling have held exhibitions here...and most recently "Jimmy White" ,who officially opened the place. We are holding a £1000 8 ball tournament here next month, more details to follow [ This message was edited by: poolshark on 2007-10-13 00:58 ]

With a little more notice and details about the event I might have gone to that. How far is the place from Derry airport? What's the address of the venue? What's the entry fee? Are there any good hotels nearby? [ This message was edited by: Riggers on 2007-10-25 08:44 ]

Well with the help of google I managed to answer some of those questions...
It's 9.5 miles from Derry airport.
Pool Works is at 31-33 Shipquay Street, Derry in the centre ofthe city. Flights with Ryan Air from Nottingham come in at £96 return. I'm working on hotels. Anyone else fancying it?
