A bar billiards table has appeared in the USC club in Haywards Heath.
Have not played it yet, but it looks OK.
Would make a good venue, cheap beer and a club crying out for members and revenue.
Anyone know anything about it?
You must know something Sparky

That's good news Shaun, let's hope they get a team (either existing or new) to play from there.
I know when we were looking to move (from the Wheatsheaf Albourne) Sparky enquired there and was told there was no room for a table :( So we went to the Victory instead.
When I said I was going to ask for a table at the Sportsman everyone said it was a restaurant and I was wasting my time!
It just goes to show that you should never say never with a venue - times (and personel) change and possibilities open up.
I have heard recently that the people at the Ansty Cross who threw out the Bar Billiards table immediately (and turned me down very rudely when I enquired and had bought a glass of wine!) have gone, so there's another venue that could open up again.

Yes Specialone I do know about it and played on it already, needs a bit of TLC but shows promise, also knew it was on-the-cards but seeing is believing. There seems to be a number of former players who wanted it and are keen to play so that is really good news to my ears - watched 2 on Saturday night and could tell straight away that they knew which end of a cue to hold and suggest some will turn out to be old acquaintances of yours (and other Mid Sussex seniors ;D) one was ex-Pilgrim ;)
I will encourage them to form a team but must wait and see what actually happens ......as for me .... ?? 8-) ......after all it is very near and I'm a member and go there most weeks.... ;D
