Snooker has been a tradition of South West for many years and the honours board in the games room shows that the first recorded competition took place in 1968. Since then there have been changes to the position of our two tables mainly as a result of renovation work to the club building.
In recent years members have represented the club initially in the Urmston and District League then later in the Levenshulme and District League. Due to various reasons league snooker came to an end a short time ago but happily recommenced this year, 2017, and we currently have team playing in division 2 of the Urmston and District League. We play during the winter seasons on Tuesday nights. All our home matches start at 7:30pm as do most of the away matches unless we play a ‘one table club’ when the starting time is 7pm.
Our two tables are situated in the games room adjacent to the Members Lounge. They are well maintained and recently a new modern lighting has been installed overhead. Apart from match nights the tables are available for Members and Guests. A nominal amount of 20p is charged for every 9 minutes for use of the lights. The balls can be obtained from the bar area but returned there after use.
If anyone is interested in joining the club either to play snooker socially or to considered for team selection then please either contact our snooker Admin Secretary Mike Pickering on 0161 860 5688 or mobile 07954 236420 or email mikepickering1@hotmail.co.uk. Alternatively team captain Paul Mottram on 0161 881 2771 or mobile 07971 696747.
