Foosball Academy

[Oatsey]

Hi all,
I have been working on a project to open a place to play foos in Bristol for over 12 months . It has finally come to fruition and we celebrated the opening of the Foosball Academy with two private functions this week.

Details can be found on our public Facebook page here :

When I get them I will try to post some pics of last nights event.

A big thanks to Ben Leahy for coming all the way from Reading.

Lets hope we can now rebuild the Bristol local scene!

From a PM to Dave


Thanks for the games last night Dave it was worth the journey. I know a great deal of effort has gone in to maintaining a scene in Bristol but even so bristolians are still fortunate to have so many players passionate about the game. From my perspective its just nice to have a couple of games against good opposition.

Take a care, Ben

Hi, In case anyone is interested who can get this channel just to let you know "Made in Bristol" Tv filmed a news item and a longer feature on the foosball academy today. The news item will be shown at 6 and 9pm I think and then the longer feature tomorrow at 6.30 and 9.30 I believe in case anyone wants to see me embarrass myself!
Channel 159 on virgin and also on sky somewhere.

This channel I think? I've seen better websites, but looks like Virgin 159, Sky 117 and Freeview 8.

That is the channel Rob, just local TV for Bristol . I was appalling as usual on the news item last night. The feature segment is tonight at 6.30 and 9.30 so i am told but you can never be sure . Hopefully we will end up getting some new people interested as that is the objective!

Amazingly tonights feature on the academy was actually pretty good!! See it at 9.30 on virgin 159 or sky 117

Hi
As some of you will know I have been trying to live stream the camera from the academy but as I don't seem to have the band width on my wifi in the academy to do this with any quality I have decided to just upload the recorded video to my you tube "Foosball Academy" channel. I will do this shortly after each Thursday night club night so those present can see their games and what they did right or wrong!!

Obviously this will be a bit tedious if you were not there (or even if you were!!) but there could be some bored foosball sad people who are interested so I have posted the links here to the you tube channel

here is a link
