Ronnie is in Macau where he has been playing an exhibition with Si Jiahui. Before the match between the two pros, Ronnie played some members of the public. Ronnie beat Si by 2-1.

They are at the Wynn Palace in Macau and they have been spoiled!

Here are a few images … welcome sweets, great food, transport, venue … everything is top class.

I have mentioned this already but … I can’t remember a post-season with so many exhibitions and quite lucrative ones too. I can only suppose that this is the result of changes in the players contract. It has been a great success and it’s not just about Ronnie, a lot of other top players have been doing them as well.

Evidence of the success … Some more are already booked for 2025!

Those two will take place in mainland Europe:

It has been announced that the recently retired but hugely popular Rolf Kalb will be the MC at the Hamm exhibitions! And the exhibition cup in Helsinki will carry 250 000 Euros in prize money!

But that’s for next year … next week Ronnie will be coming back from Asia and will play more exhibitions … with Gary Wilson in Tampere, Finland and with John Higgins in Plovdiv and Sofia, Bulgaria
