The game is generally regarded to have originated in the latter half of the 19th century. Billiards had been a popular activity amongst British Army officers stationed in India, and variations on the more traditional billiard games were devised. One variation, devised in the officers' mess in Jabalpur during 1874 or 1875, was to add coloured balls in addition to the reds and black which were used for pyramid pool and life pool. The word "snooker" also has military origins, being a slang term for first year cadets or inexperienced personnel.......
Where we play
The Club's 4 full size snooker tables are a permanent fixture in our upstairs games room.
Here you can have your game relatively undisturbed away from the main bar.
These are regularly kept in tip-top condition by a member of the Club's snooker team.
It's free to play and there are cues if you don't have your own. Lights are on a timed meter,
and there's plenty of room for spectators.
Our Teams
We have a team who play in Division Four of the Coventry and District Snooker League

We don't have a snooker team representing the Club at CIU Games League level.
Our facilities are first rate and we'd be very interested in anyone forming a new team or an
established team looking to relocate. Mens, Ladies and mixed teams welcome.
Age restrictions do not apply playing snooker at the club although this may not be the case at away venues.
The club has established banking facilities for sports teams to use
and teams are offered dedicated pages just like this one on our website
regularly updated with fixtures, results, photos and contact information.
.....and the tune now playing is of course the theme from "Pot Black"
