September 2021 Snooker Update

Friday 3 Sep, 2021

Kia Ora,

Our sport, along with everyone else’s, has come to a sudden halt, but we are a patient lot and not only looking forward to playing again at Level 2, but we are also waiting and planning our return to our new room at the Club.

We have it by good authority that this will happen well before Christmas.

A huge thanks to Geoff Baldwin and Brent Jones who have liaised with management throughout the whole process and have kept the section informed. A special thanks to our Chairperson Geoff who has taken on many tasks over the last few years and who has decided to ease back and share the huge workload that has been undertaken.

From the whole section we thank all those members who have supported our weekly raffle on Thursday evenings. Further to that, a big thumbs up to our guys who run these raffles.

We are pleased to inform you that we have the current and 15 times NZ billiards Champ back in our Club after three years in Wellington. Gary Oliver is this man and he is also an A grade coach who is only too happy to give his time to anyone wanting to learn or further their billiards game.

Anyone wanting to join our Section, just make contact with anyone you see in the new rooms. We run several in-house events at all levels both billiards and snooker. Or if you just want spend some time with your mates enjoying our great game.

Regards,
Bill Earle
Club Captain
