On Thursday, March 18 Scottish born Andy Thomson, an English Indoor International since 1981 and twice a holdeer of the World Singles title, winner of 11 EIBA titles and for good measure eight British Isles titles will show his considerable skills to the members of the Hartlepool Club.

Andy, selected for the England outdoor team that will contest this year's World championships, will be holding coaching classes between 6-9pm for both junior and senior members and will play a number of challenge matches to those fortunate enough to be selected.

There will be no entrance charge and non-members will be welcome.
