Members of the ‘Jester’s Snooker Academy’ endorsed by Mark Selby and based at The Winchester, visited the home of snooker ‘Crucible’ in Sheffield.

A day out organised by Mukesh included a coaching session by the Paul Hunter Foundation in the ‘Cuezone’, a backstage tour including visiting the match arena and also tickets to watch Mark Selby play Barry Hawkins.

The Academy were chaperoned by their resident coach at The Winchester, Alan Perkins.

Six-times world champion Steve Davis gave snooker fans a real treat when he appeared at the Winchester for an exhibition. ‘The Nugget’ took on club members and gave the packed audience a dazzling display of trick shots. The Winchester owner Mukesh Parmar said: “It was an absolute privilege to have Steve here. It was a fantastic night enjoyed by all. He’s a true legend and a great ambassador for snooker.”

The evening helped raise £827.29 for LOROS, and Mukesh added: “Thank you to everyone who donated items for the auction, to everyone who helped and, of course, to Steve.”
