Tickets for the showcase, priced at £22, can be obtained from the venue directly. The event kicks off at 7pm, promising an exciting evening of snooker entertainment for a good cause.

In summary, Airdrie Working Men’s Club is gearing up to host a special snooker showcase featuring the talented John Higgins, with the aim of raising funds for the club’s development and supporting St Andrew’s Hospice. Snooker enthusiasts and charity supporters are encouraged to attend this event on December 6 for a night of sporting excellence and generosity.
