Hi cashman. Looks like you had a penchant for snooker and billiards same as I had. The only pic I have of the place is in my head. It was certainly inder the 'bug hut'. They called it 'Walter Lindrums' as well. There were at least 10 full size snooker tables in there. I only played in there about four or five times. I preferred the Elite.
