The South West Snooker Academy in Gloucester is offering a six-month scholarship to the winner of their qualifying event for the World Open.
The event will take place on July 31. The entry fee is £20.
The winner of the event will have their entry fee for the World Open paid, plus six months of training, including use of the practice facilities, games against professional players and free coaching. The runner-up will receive a three-month scholarship and the losing semi-finalists will get a free day of practice, with coaching.
