Thinking of doing a singles Yorkshire championship any idea of the best way for me to achieve this ??? I reckon for a first attempt at this you would need to zone the Yorkshire County Singles: York to play off to find their champion, likewise Sheffield to find theirs, and the winners to play off for the title of supreme champion. This is how National championships started, back in 1975, with a Southern Counties champion (from Sussex) playing the Northern Counties champion (from Bucks). A natural progression would be to do similar to find the Team champion-of-champions. With the cities of York and Sheffield being 60 miles apart, zoning seems a sensible way to start ! The cities could take turns to stage the finals, or find a venue half-way between if such a thing exists. I'm sure that with the backing of Press and breweries that you already have up there, stepping up to the next level should be relatively easy and it would be only a matter of time before we see Yorkshire competing at national level ! tommo

Great to hear that there's been more progress with Sheffield venues. Do you think the Cross Scythes will keep its table now that you've moved? Re.the Yorkshire singles idea, our York singles cup is now at the semi-finals stage (see www.yorkbarbilliards.com/cup.html), so we'll have a York champion to put forward in the fairly near future if you'd like to go with Tommo's idea. Or alternatively to widen the interest a bit we could pit our top 4 players against Sheffield's top 4 in a day-long 8 player cup, to find an overall champion? In other news, we recently heard that the York Press is going to start including our results and league table in their sports pages, which is nice.

Hi all Just got back from my quick visit to Sheffield. Got to watch Judd Trump v Marco Fu this morning and got to see some great snooker including a 120 break by Marco. Got to see some of the greats including Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, John Parrott and Ken Doherty all working around the cue zone. Also had dinner with Joe Perry on Saturday night ( erm...... He was 2 tables over from me ). On sat afternoon I met up with Steve, Becky and John at the Gardeners Rest for a few games of billiards. I have to say their enthusiasm for the game is second to none so with them pushing things I'm sure bar billiards will have another home in Sheffield :) The table at the pub looked like a Jelkes to me, the front legs were ident to the ones on the AEBBA set but the back legs were the older style Jelkes legs. It was very much uphill with a roll to the right all over. The break was there as was the 1 up and split as long as you allowed for the role. Had a good afternoon of billiards. I just hope I was able to give them a few pointers on shot selection ? If I'm back up next year I'll defo be looking to meet up for a few games again Curt

Trawling through Twitter and found a reference to a table being installed in a Sheffield pub as recently as May 2018:
WHITE LION, 615 LONDON ROAD, HEELEY, SHEFFIELD S2 4HT The pub's website shows a picture, and its a Jelkes which came from Hertfordshire and looks in good nick. I have suggested they check out the Sheffield Bar Billiards League and mentioned their website.
