Looking for a new club

[neil taperell]

Morning Lads , just received the news that my private club i'm a member of is closing next month . Just one of those things unfortunately , down to the recession etc .

As the thread says looking for a new club . Got a new[ish ] cue , new case , brand new set of balls turning up next week and nowhere to play .

I know a few clubs near to me but they are not really what i'm looking for . Does anyone know of club /s near me ?

I live in Sutton [ near Wimbledon] , don't really want to go to a Riley's .

Appreciate any help .

P.S Bought my Euromillions ticket , so fingers crossed i may well be able to buy my own club

Hi Neil, there is an ok snooker club in the centre of Epsom. It has an Aristocrat table too if you fancy a challenge.

Couldson has two or three clubs too, the epsom league is worth joining, loads of venues and good players.

Hi Jon ,

Thanks for your response

I've been playing in the Epsom snooker league for the last 20 years and i am also on the committee .
Couldson is a bit too far but Epsom is a possibility . Played on the Aristocrat this season . Club has just changed hands and i hear the owner is looking for people to use the club .

I was hoping that there would be a club that i did not know about that i could use . Played at all the ones you mentioned .

Got an AGM for the league in a couple of weeks . I may well be able to offer my services to a few teams..........would have to involve a transfer fee ! Not sure how much i could scrape together though !

Ha, talk about teaching grandma how to suck eggs! You know alot more than I do about the area by the sounds of it. I play at a little con club in reigate called South Park, two tables, cheap light, nice people (mostly).

That's what i'm looking for , rather than on out and out snooker club . Need the social life as well . Hoping to get something sorted quickly . Need to practice .
