THE 1980 world snooker championship reunion dinner held at the Works Club on Saturday was a huge success, with Jimmy (Whirlwind) White, the 1980 champion, beamed into the club via Skype.

Almost 100 guests saw White from London and also heard from the championship runner-up, Launceston's Ron Atkins. 

White was 18 years old when he won the world amateur championship, and he went on to become one of the all-time greats, featuring in six world professional championships. 

He may visit Tasmania next year as part of an Australian tour with current world champion Neil Robertson, of Australia.
