Season greetings to all our members and a happy new year to one and all. Two events that are coming up in the near future are:

Christmas Quiz (in January) – Available to members of the public

Steve will be donning his Santa costume and giving presents out to everyone that comes to his annual Christmas quiz (held in January – don’t ask!). Teams of 4 pay just £6 per head and are treated to a night of questions, fabulous food, rounds of sticky 13 and a great raffle. To enter the quiz,  which takes place on Saturday 12th January at 7.30 pm, just put your team’s name on the notice which is on the bar in the club. A great night out and open to members of the public as well.

Burns Supper – Available to members of the public

Wee sleekit tim’rous member, a ye awready for neeps an’ tatties and a wee dram or two,

It doesnt seem a year since our last Burn’s Supper which was thoroughly  enjoyed by all who came. Enjoy a marvellous feast of haggis, neeps and tatties and dance the night away at the Celeidh in fron of a live highland band. If you’re feeling brave, perform a poem from the great bard himself and earn yourself a wee dram of whiskey. Our Burn’s Night is on Saturday 26th January at 7.30 pm. Tickets cost £20 for adults and £15 for ages 10 – 15. Tickets may be purchased from the club, Oakwood Fisheries, Preston’s of Oakwood and Jack Rabbits of Oakwood. Hurry now before they’re all sold out.

Congratulations to one of our Junior members, Casey, who has recently taken part in the EASB National Championship qualifiers held at Leeds Northern Snooker Centre on November 10th. Casey actually won all his matches, ensuring that he now qualifies for the last 16 of the National Finals to be held next year on May 25 at the Northern Snooker Centre. This is a tremendous achievement considering that Casey is 11 and is playing against other players up to 3 years older than him. He is the youngest player to qualify this season for the finals and was only one of five players that scored a break over 30.

As a reward Casey was taken by his family  to meet Ronnie O’Sullivan in Halifax at “A sporting life story with Ronnie O’Sullivan” at the Victoria Theatre
