Club Annual Subscriptions
Posted by Dewi Jones, October 2023
These have been raised to £36 per year, which is the first increase since 2016. The rise is mainly due to the large increase in Gas and Electricity prices (from which the club has been protected for the last five years due to a fixed-term contract).

Wall Fans

Oscillating Wall Fans have been fitted opposite each table to keep players cool during warm weather.

New Window Blinds
Posted by Dewi Jones, November 5th 2019
We're looking into pricing for blackout blinds for the windows to provide for better light control, fitting closer to the windows and replacing the curtains. Two local suppliers have been asked to quote.

New Table Rests
Posted by Dewi Jones, November 5th 2019
New telescopic short rests have been supplied and one allocated to each of the tables.Please respect the club's equipment and report any defects to the committee.

Table Fees Reduced
Posted by Dewi Jones, November 5th 2019
The committee decided recently to reduce the cost of light purchased when playing snooker. £1 now buys 30 minutes and 20p buys 6 minutes of light.
The decision was made as a Thank You to the members who have supported the club over the past few years when finances were low and table charges needed temporarily increasing to bring more income to keep the club going. Now that there's a bit more of a healthy balance sheet, we've been able to make this change.
We appreciate your continued use of the club and hope this move will encourage more members to visit more often.
