Trickshot pro brings pool playing skills to pub

POOL players can try their best shots on a man widely considered to be the UK’s top exhibition player at the Clarendon pub in Leamington.

Steve Dakin, who has taken his trickshot show to the Houses of Parliament and all over Europe, is visiting the pub in Clarendon Avenue on Tuesday October 9 to challenge onlookers, while on Saturday October 27, he will host a pool masterclass from 1pm to 5pm. The seminars, which cost £10 to attend, will look at different aspects of the sport - including stance, spin, shot selection and matchplay. Steve was in 2008 appointed head of coacing at the 8 Ball Academy in Essex.

Tickets to the first event, which begins at 8pm, cost £5. To book places and find out more, call 460036 or go online.
