Things must have changed a lot since I was at the SWSA. There were 13 tables then (1 in a match arena) and 3 rooms with 4 tables each and one room designated as a pro practice room with amateurs not allowed unless invited. There was always plenty of room around all the tables and coffee/tea were always available as long as you brought your own milk (although some players assumed it was supplied by the club and used it as I didn't bother to label it)
