Snooker

Due to the generosity of members during the last two years both tables have now been re-covered and are in excellent condition
Enough money was given in donations to allow the purchase of a further cue extension.
The lighting on each of the tables has been refurbished due to an individual donation and members’ voluntary work.

After continued hard work by members the green is now in an excellent condition and should provide a first class playing surface for next season
The boarding around the green has been completely replaced in recent months using money from our National Lottery Grant
The maintenance of the green has been sponsored by Holland Finney and Associates Chartered Quantity surveyors - 84 King Street Newcastle-under-Lyme Staffordshire ST5 1JB
New members are urgently needed and we have created a new special category for those who just want to bowl and use the bar during the summer period (April 1st to September 30th).

In September 2010 Newcastle-under-Lyme Sports Council awarded the Club £450 towards essential new equipment for green maintenance
In July 2010 the club received a grant of over £800 from Staffordshire County Council Community Fund to help with the costs of bedding down the green for the winter, maintenance work that is essential for future success in 2011.
The club has just (July 2008) been awards a grant of over £1800 from the Local Member Initiative Scheme of Stafforshire County Council. As a result work will start on replacing the kitchen floor, removing asbestos sheeting from the storage shed for the green maintenance equipment and replacing it with a safe alternative. The assistance of Councillor Mick Clarke is much appreciated!
Last Year (2007), the club was awarded £9595 from the National Lottery to replace the central heating system, install loft insulation, repair doors and provide disabled toilets and access facilities.
In recent years the club has succesfully raised grants from , Newcastle-under-Lyme Community Chest, the Barracks Trust and the borough's Sports Council. The money raised have has helped us to fully repair the roof. Many thanks go to Councillor Mick Clarke for his advice on this matter, and those volunteers who gave up their time and skills to help
