* DAY 1 – BUMP IN *

Good Morning Australia,

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Nationals!!

The Thirty-Two (32) Supreme Pool Tables rolled into Albury very early this morning and work has begun.

Our man (Nick) from ‘JNR Transport’ has done a great job getting the tables to the Commercial Club and now it’s over to Peter and his boys at ‘Just Billiards’ to start the task of placing them in the rooms.

Thanks to Ray Atwell at CL&S for his assistance over the last few months with getting these tables tournament ready and thanks to Paul Modica and his team at CL&S Melbourne for getting the tables loaded safely yesterday from the Tullamarine factory.

This is the biggest setup in the history of the Australian Eight Ball Championships and probably of any cue sports event in this country and we are facing logistical issues along the way, but having professional people involved in the process certainly helps things run in the right direction.
