NDBSA News

Congratulations to Cessnock Ex-Services Club who have taken out the Premier Snooker Minor Premiership and will face Mayfield Bowling Club in the Grand Final on Tuesday the 1st of March 7pm at the Wangi Worker’s Club. Good luck to both teams and as always spectators welcome.

A reminder that all player and team fees need to be paid by the 18th of February – The Association in the last 2 years have been a little lenient with dates but chasing fees is time consuming and frustrating. This year we will penalise any teams or players not financial as of the 18th of this month as we have given everyone 6 weeks notice.

Individual members______$30 ($15 Over-50s only) annually

Tony Tamplin Shield (12 months)______$140 per team

Premier Snooker______$40 per team per season

Over-50s Snooker______$30 per team per season

Lightning Billiards______$40 per team per season

Can players please give their fees to their snooker club treasurer then a cheque for all club fees be forwarded to the Association.

The 2016 NDBSA AGM is on this Thursday 7pm at Kahibah Sports Club. Like last year there will be finger food and drink vouchers. Besides nominations it’s a good opportunity to discuss the year ahead and what you want from your Association.

As tonight is the 3rd last round of the group stages in the billiards handicaps won’t change based on wins/losses tonight.

To all snooker/billiard players and their families – have a great Christmas and New Year period and we look forward to a great season in 2016. Lightning billiards resumes on the 4th of January with the Premier Snooker (5th Jan) and Rex Smith Over-50s (7th Jan) commencing soon after. The Tony Tamplin will start back around mid to late January – we’ll confirm the date over the next week or so. Thanks for a great 2015 and stay safe – we’ll see you in the New Year.

The 2015-16 Rex Smith Shield starts this week (29/10). Draw on website here and can be downloaded here. Starting handicaps are either under the Rex Smith teams or can be downloaded here.

Good luck to everyone participating. If you are over 50 and want to get involved in a Thursday afternoon game of friendly competition snooker then don’t hesitate to contact a Committee Member here.
