My name is Tim Dunkley and in 2000 I discovered the wonders of junior snooker.

I help run the Saturday morning junior section at Chandler’s Ford Snooker Club, with club-boss Jim Everett, and run the afternoon £1,000 Under-21 Roll-Up. You may have read of the remarkable
exploits of the region’s top young players in the Daily Echo every Saturday.

As well as holding down a full-time job, away from the green baize, I am a World Snooker Asociation coach, a press officer for the World Ladies Billiards & Snooker Association and a member of the
Snooker Writers' Association.
