Target: Pontoon management
Region: Australia
Result:
This petition is now closed. While the comp was not saved, this petition gives some history of who participated. Quite amazing really to see who was playing pool down there. Cheers. Time for a rematch Cam. Popey.
Petition Background (Preamble):
The Pontoon bar at Darling Harbour has, for over two years, held a quality pool competition. In fact the Thursday night pool comp has become a tradition of no little significance. Friends gather around the tables with their ales and stories of the week and then shoot pool in an atmosphere of fraternal solidarity wondering what amazing shot will win the night. The Inside Sport models offer their own unique commentary of the classic shots and draw the night together with their organisational skills.
This is the stuff that historians will write about in a hundred years. Regulars, ring-ins, friends, locals and others all gather around the venerable pool tables and all appreciate the atmosphere that has made the Pontoon a place worthy of respect.
Great shock and sadness accompanied the announcement on 9 August 2001 that the classic Pontoon pool comp was over.
This petition is the beginning of the campaign to revive a sure thing. The Pontoon pool comp will live on!!
