Reflection:

When we came the first time to the club, the administration of the club were not that cooperative with us, especially the general manager. The general manager was always busy; he couldn’t provide time for us to interview him. Another reason for their lack of cooperation was because we were not members of the club. But, after going to the club several times, we found the proper person to do the interview with. The quality of sound with the interviewee Mohamed Natheer was not that good, and the reason for this is because he has a low voice and the camera was slightly far from the interviewee. On the other hand, the interview with Mr. Khaldoon have went well, because he had a loud and clear voice, also the place we had the interview done in was a quiet place. During our interview tour, we faced a problem in covering all the sections in the club due to the huge area of the club; also the large number of sections, and there are some sections we were not allowed to enter because we were not members of the club. In addition, some private area was specified for women, and we were not allowed to enter.

Alex Higgin (The Hurricane)

           Hurricane Higgins is the nickname of the snooker legend Alexander Gordon Higgins. He earned the nickname The Hurricane because of his speed of play. Higgins is from Ireland and he was born in 1949. Alex is credited to have brought the game of snooker to a wider audience and contributing to its peak in popularity in the eighties. He totally won 24 titles, two of them as the world champion, another two are runner-up, and one from UK Championship. In 1978, Higgins beat Cliff Thorburn to win the Masters. Higgins was also a former World Doubles champion with Jimmy White and he won the World Cup three times with the All Ireland team. Clive Everton made a TV documentary about snooker “The Story of Snooker (2002)”, and they described Alex as ‘’one true genius that snooker has produced’’. He died in July 2010 when he was 61 years old.
