It took a little convincing, but after promises of cheap beer and cheeseburgers, the opening WHAM ‘First Wednesday’ finally took place at Rileys Pool Hall in Victoria.
The evening kicked off with five games to sort the wheat from the chaff, which was done without mercy. The closest two teams; Barry and Anoushka versus Simon and Rosalind proved to be the most serious with, ‘we’re not here to lose’ announced by Simon to all and sundry. Each move was played only after much consultation to the despair of the burger and beer-filled spectators tiring of his strategising! However a closely-tied final proved him correct, with Barry and Anoushka relegated to second place.
All left with th conspiring to work on our techniques so we can show them how it’s done at the next Pool challenge. Bring it on!
