Personalised number plates are an ideal way to recognise or celebrate the people or things that you love. Jago Mead’s passion is snooker, having been a fan of the sport for thirty years. He attributes his dedication to watching Terry Griffiths win the World Championships back in 1979.

Jago began playing snooker several years later and became so dedicated to his newfound hobby that he walked six miles to the snooker club every Saturday and would spend his pocket money on playing his favourite game.

He recalls, “I would wait about an hour for the table, play for an hour and then walk home again.”

His passion has continued and even influenced his brother’s love of the game. Jago said, “My brother, Ralph, also became interested in snooker and when we were both working, we would play on a regular basis, sometimes three times a week.” He continued, “Our games have come on leaps and bounds. I achieved my first century (a score of 108) about five years ago and I continue to love playing the game.”

Jago Mead admits that he always thought that private number plates were pretentious and never considered buying one. However, that all changed when he purchased his Mini and discovered the plate SN03 KER. He felt that it would be the ultimate recognition of the sport, which has shaped his life.

“The plate, SN03 KER, combined my love for snooker and my Mini, so I felt I just had to have it. Fortunately, I was able to afford it and I’m happy as it’s unlikely to go down in value.”
