Could one of our snooker playing members befriend Vera? 🤩

Know anyone who watches snooker? Vera, 94, has a great sense of humour and a lifelong love of snooker. Her friends have now passed away, so she'd like to have someone who could watch the occasional game with her on TV. To spend time with this fun lady, DM us or contact [email protected] today 😄
