A large sports centre comprising large indoor athletics track, badminton hall, gym etc, and the World Snooker Academy. This weekend it was hosting the final qualifying round of the World Snooker Championship, ahead of the main event at the Crucible Theatre in the city centre next month. To allow public spectators, the matches were taking place in the badminton hall rather than in the Snooker Academy.
