I am trying to discover the history regarding any Bar Billiards tables that used to be in Sark.
I seem to remember one at The Beau Regard, but the recollection is a little fuzzy ::)
Just found out today when I was over there that there used to be one in a Hotel or Guest House called The Pavilion, which burnt down c 1952.
Now a private house.
I will have to go back soon and make further inquiries 8-)
Any excuse for a trip over to Sark is most welcome 8-) 8-) 8-)

According to one of our Pairs Heroes, Roy Le Taxi, there used to be a table at the Bel Air in Sark 8-)
I think a new International venue/tournament may be in the making ;D

Had a works day out in Sark a couple of years back and although a little under the weather (drunk) there was a table in the Bel Air at the top of the hill.
Could be a good excuse for a BB day out to investigate if its still there.

I have also received a report of a table in Alderney and there is interest in staging a four-Island knockout tournament to be held in the future.
Sark and Alderney players have expressed a desire in playing in a Channel Islands League.
There is serious interest in forming a new Association, to encompass the smaller Channel Islands, transport links permitting.
The first meeting of the S.A.D. B.B.A. (Sark & Alderney Domiciled Bar Billiards Association) is being planned for early Autumn with a view to a league being formed and sponsorship is being invited.
This is an interesting development which may raise the profile of Bar Billiards within the Channel Islands.
Your support and comments would be welcomed.

The Riley I sold a year ago was finally picked up yesterday and will shortly be on its way to France.
Could we have an excuse for a French trip in the future?
