Snooker club keen for new members

The Central Coast Leagues Club Snooker & Billiards Club has been an integral part of Central Coast Leagues Club for more than 50 years.

Built by locals for locals in 1954, it has seen many changes over the years but still adheres to the same principles and values as members come together for friendship, sport and fun.

“As one of the club’s internal clubs, we are generously supported by the mother club who provides one of the best equipped, purpose-built snooker rooms on the Central Coast with six professionally maintained competition sized tables,” President Sue Harvey said.

“We are so lucky to have such a great facility for our Central Coast community to use and enjoy. 

“We currently have 54 financial members who play regularly in club and district competitions and social events, but we would love to increase this number.

“Female participation is encouraged and because our percentage of ladies is relatively small, we need more to join our ranks.

“If you are interested in snooker and/or billiards, come along and check out our top-class facilities.”

Financial members are welcome to play in the teams competition on Monday mornings and seniors (aged over 55) compete on Tuesday morning.

An open competition is held on Thursday mornings.

The club also hosts various championship events throughout the year and members are eligible to compete in any of the district competitions held each year.

“All our players are handicapped according to their skill, so consequently, a very level playing field is achieved,” Harvey said.

Prize money is offered for all competitions but the main aim is to foster friendship and have some fun.

Cueing for Kids is an annual charity event where members compete alongside other clubs from across the state.

All proceeds are donated to a nominated children’s charity each year.

“We pride ourselves on being a welcoming, inclusive club catering for players of all ages and abilities,” Harvey said.

“Come and join us, we’d love to see you.”
