A legendary snooker player, John Higgins, is set to showcase his skills at the Airdrie Working Men’s Club in a special event. The four-time World Snooker Champion, known as the ‘Wizard of Wishaw’, will entertain the audience by playing against eight Monklands residents at the Broomknoll Street venue on December 6. The event is not only a display of talent but also a charitable initiative, with donations planned for St Andrew’s Hospice.
Higgins, a familiar face in the snooker world with numerous titles under his belt, including three UK Opens, will be supporting his friend Pat McKinney in reviving the snooker arena at the Working Men’s Club. The aim is to raise funds for the club’s development and to contribute to the hospice’s cause. Pat McKinney expressed his hopes for a successful event that will benefit both the club and the charity.
