Some of you may be aware that last year I ran a World Snooker Championship competition whereby you get points for predicting who will get through each of the rounds. Well I've decided to do it again to raise some money for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Appeal.

The entry form is below... the competition doesn't start until mid April so there is still plenty of time to think about who you fancy to go all the way! Entry is £2.00 with £0.80 of that to the winner, 20p to the runner up and £1.00 to Weston Park. If I can get 50 entries that equates to £20 for the charity, 100 equals £40 etc...

Your chance to meet a hot favourite for 2008

Last year's World Snooker Championship runner-up Mark Selby is coming exclusively to Sheffield Hallam University on Monday 7 April to chat about his game and his hopes of clinching the title this year.
Mark is feeling confident about coming to the Crucible for the tournament starting on april 19 after beating Ronnie O'Sullivan last month to take the Welsh Open title.

Tickets for an evening in conversation with Mark at the University are FREE.

This is a great chance for snooker fans to hear Mark talk about his game and how he prepares for a big match. You can also ask him questions and win some great prizes.
There's wine and nibbles afterwards at the University's Pennine Theatre on the City Campus (Howard Street, just up from the train station and Pond Street bus station).
The evening starts at 6.30pm for 7pm and will last about an hour and a half.
Tickets and refreshments are FREE but they must be reserved in advance by calling the Corporate Events Team at Sheffield Hallam on 0114 225 4957 or 0114 225 4526. Leave a message with your details if it's an answerphone. Or you can email your details to events@shu.ac.uk
