ZAHVALA PODPORNIKOM

Uradni plakat logotipov podpornikov Memoriala 2015.

Dragi igralci (in igralki), dragi prijatelji in prijateljice našega športa!

Organizacijski odbor bi se rad zahvalil vsem partnerjem, sponzorjem in prostovoljcem – brez njih ne bi bilo tega veleturnirja.

Naj najprej omenim naša naslovna sponzorja, družino Grabnar in družbo Flovac Adria – iz vsega srca hvala za denarno pomoč, ki so nam jo namenjali zadnji dve desetletji. Vselej se izkažejo in tudi zdaj nam pomagajo, kolikor je le mogoče v teh nelahkih časih.

Drugi na seznamu je naš generalni sponzor: Skupina Kaval (catering, restavracije). Njim se imamo zahvaliti za bogata priložnostna darila (spominske majice, buteljčno vino/šampanjec), jedilnike s posebnimi popusti za tekmovalce, sobotno zabavo za vse obiskovalce tekmovanja in še marsikaj.

Sledi zlati sponzor Memoriala družba Longoni – proizvajalka mojstrskih palic. Po njeni zaslugi bomo lahko med tekmovalce izžrebali in podarili »Niels Feijen« T12 biljard palico v vrednosti 1.200,00 eur – prav gotovo imenitno popotnico za morebitno bodočo zvezdo biljarda, prav tako pa je družba Longoni donirala kar 192 biljard kapic Fuji Modena – po eno za vsako darilno vrečko tekmovanja!

Med srebrne sponzorje/partnerje sodijo Hotel Park, družba GoOpti prevozi in Petrol. Prvoomenjeni tekmovalcem nudi več kot spodobna prenočišča za več kot spodobno ceno. Storitve družbe za osebne prevoze GoOpti, pa so za naše tekmovalce iz tujine enako dragocene. Logistično podjetje, ki si je v nekaj kratkih letih prislužilo mednarodni ugled in čigar moto se glasi: »Kam? Kamor vas je volja …« Njihovi vozniki skrbijo, da je neogibno vozikanje po Ljubljani učinkovito, poceni in pravočasno.

Prepričani smo, da bodo naši gostje zadovoljni, saj se ne bodo le zlahka selili med biljardnicama in hotelom, ampak bodo lahko ob sobotni zabavi tudi posedeli ob kozarčku imenitnega slovenskega vina oz. piva, ne da bi jim bilo treba določati koga iz svojih vrst, ki bi se moral vzdržati vsakega požirka.

Oba skupaj že malone z materinsko skrbjo strežeta potrebam naših gostov, spričo česar turnir za naše goste ni samo sijajen športni dogodek, temveč tudi turistično doživetje. Za kar bo dodatno poskrbel tudi Ranč Burger Venise, ki je za vse igralce priskrbel bone za 2 kroga jahanja in dodatne bone za vikend pakete in jahalne urice, ki se bodo žrebali na samem turnirju. Družbi Petrol se izredno lepo zahvaljujemo za finančno pomoč. Tri njihove bencinske črpalke so v relativni bližini biljardnic, kar pomeni, da se tistim gostom, ki se bodo iz tujine pripeljali z lastnimi vozili, ni treba bati, da bi obtičali na cesti.

Naslednji v vrsti so mnogi bronasti sponzorji, katerih prispevek je prav tako zelo dobrodošel: to je v prvi vrsti Biljardna Hiša Ljubljana (generalni zastopnik Cheqio za Slovenijo), ki vsem tekmovalcem podarja energijsko pijačo Cheqio – energija za preciznostne športe – in sicer tako, da bo vsaka darilna vrečka obogatena z omenjeno pločevinko pijače!

Nato sledijo finančni in stvarni (so)pokrovitelji družba Promo Sapiens, softball ekipa Mesarji, Impedanca, Nikl design, biljard kluba Ilirija, graverstvo Čižman, ki vsako leto donira prelepe trofeje za vse najboljše, keramičarstvo Nino, ki je doniralo rogljičke za vse tekmovalce, pa mnogi prijatelji pokojnega Miška Grabnarja, v čigar spomin poteka memorial zdaj že desetič, pa tudi anonimni donatorji in seveda prostovoljci (vodji tekmovanja, sodniki, fotografi, tiskovniki, tehnično in pomožno osebje, pa še mnogi drugi), ki bodo skrbeli, da bo prireditev potekala kar se da gladko in brez zatikanj.

In zadnjim, a ne “tazadnji” se moramo zahvaliti samim partnerski biljardnicam. One nam nudijo tekmovališča, one poskrbijo za čim boljše tekmovalne pogoje, one na terenu poskrbijo za dobro počutje naših gostov.

Brez biljardnice Kaval, biljardnega kluba 9-ka, biljardnice Direkt in Biljardne hiše Ljubljana ta dogodek prav gotovo ne bi bil mogoč.

Vsem se prisrčno zahvaljujemo, čeprav nimamo ne časa ne prostora, da bi jih omenili po imenu: oni so namreč sol tega turnirja.

V imenu organizacijskega odbora Grabnarjevega memoriala, »turnirja, ki zna pocrkljati«,

Dear players/friends of our sport.

The organising comitee would like to thank all partners, sponsors and volunteers, everyone without whom this grand tournament could not be held.

First off all, let me mention our capital sponsors: family Grabnar and Flovac Adria company – from the bottom of our hearts we thank them for all the financial help that they have given in the last two decades. They have always been there for us and are still supporting the effort in these uneasy times.

Second on our list is our general sponsor: Kaval Group (catering, restaurants). We have to thank them for a handful of practical gifts (shirts, wine/sparkling wine bottles), special prize menus for the players in their restaurants, a saturday lounge party for all the visitors of the event and much more.

We continue with our golden sponsor: the company Longoni – manufacturers of profesional cues. They have donated a very special »Niels Feijen« T12 pool cue (value: 1.200,00 eur) – which we will gift to a player, lucky enough to be drawn from a pool of 192 at the end of the tournament – a cue worthy of the next rising pool star. Longoni has also donated 192 cue tips Fuji Modena, one for every player in the tournament.

We count Hotel Park and the GoOpti company as our silver sponsors. Players can enjoy a very nice accomodation in Hotel Park's rooms for a special price. GoOpti is offering a quick way of maneuvering through Ljubljana and reaching all of our four pool-halls on time. For a discount price of course.

We are convinced our guests will be happy to know they will not only be able to move between pool-halls and their hotel room with ease, but will be able to enjoy their saturday party with a glass of fine slovene wine or beer, without having to sellect a person to miss the opportunity.

Both are keeping an eye on our players' needs with a mother's care which is why our tournament is not only a nice sporting event but also has a turist value. This will be amplified by the offers of Ranč Burger Venise, who offered every player a 2 round horse-back riding coupon and a variety of other coupons for accomodation that will be put into a draw between the lucky players on the day of the tournament. We thank the oil company Petrol for their financial support, Three of their gas stations are in close proximity of the pool halls which means our guests - who arrive by their own transport - do not need to fear running out of gas on their way back.

Next in line  are our bronze sponsers, whose efforts and support we gratefully accept: first of we mention Biljardna hiša Ljubljana (general representative for Cheqio in Slovenia), who supplied a can of Cheqio energy drink – energy for precision sports – for every player's gft bag.

Continuing with our financial and practical sponsors: Promo Sapiens company, Mesarji softball team, Impedanca, Nikl design, Biljard klub Ilirija, Graverstvo Čižman (who donates very beautiful trophies for the winners every year), Keramičarstvo Nino (who donates croissants for all the players in the field) and many other friends of the late Miško Grabnar in whose memory we hold this tournament for the tenth time this year. Also the many anonymous donators and all volunteers (tournament leaders, referees, photographers, the press, technical and staff help and many others), who will do their best to keep the event going without delays and inconveniences.

Lastly but not leastly we need to thank all four partnering pool-halls for coming together and ensuring the best playing conditions in their places and making sure the guests are provided for. Without Biljardnica Kaval, Biljardni klub 9-ka, Biljardnica Direkt and Biljardna hiša Ljubljana this tournament would not be possible at all.

We thank each and every one even though there is neither enough time nor space to mention them by name, they are the salt of this event.

In the name of the organising comitee of the Grabnar's memorial, the all-friendly tournament,

Mitja Gradišnik, the president of Biljardne zveze Slovenije
