Billiard Table Cover

Right on Cue

A 47-year-old, ruefully shy and financially diffident woman, makes for an unlikely heroine.

A 47-year-old, painfully shy and financially diffident the missis, makes for an unlikely heroine. But the story of Revanna Umadevi Nagraj, whose day job is that of a senior typist at Bangalores Horticulture Control, is engaging because of her grit, determination and the seemingly unsurmountable odds she overcame.

For almost a month earlier this year, Umadevi led a deceitful life, and was not quite at ease with it. She would go to the Karnataka State Billiards Association club every day, and spend an hour practising, confidently striding towards the billiard table, keeping a crusty face, an unmissable aggression in her movements. Earlier, her slack body language had often come in for disapprobation, with people pointing out that it came in the way of her winning the battle of the green baize, and she was determined to correct it. Then, as she rushed household and settled into domestic chores of cooking and sorting vegetables, she would fiddle around and struggle to concentrate on her choice Kannada evening soaps on television, her mind clearly elsewhere.

Hello, does anyone have any suggestions as to where i can achieve a pool/billiard table cover form that isnt made of vinyl?? I cant seem to find one anywhere.... assistance is much appreciated!

Do you cover your billiard table when not in use...should it be covered toprotect it from dust and debris ?

I did for about one week after I got it.

It's not in a normally dusty environment. Most of the problem happens from over-use of chalk when the game is being played, anyhow.

I detest the hand-chalk, but too many friends favour
