Both tables have meters operated by inserting a token. Snooker tokens are available from the Club Bar only, in the evenings, and not from the Village Café or Club Office.

Snooker Room Rules

To Ensure everyone can fully enjoy the facilities, we have a few important rules:  

  • Membership Payment Policy: Membership fees must be fully paid before using the club’s facilities.
  • Booking: You must reserve a table through the Snooker Members App before entering the room.

    • Keep the snooker room tidy and organized.

    • Members may play on either table. Table 1 is reserved for snooker members only.
