WHEN
We meet every Saturday for our pool and snooker league. Time will be from about 7pm until 10pm.
WHERE
We play our club pool and snooker league games every week at Park Conservatives Club, on City Road. This is the new home for the society for this year as our usual place requires a minibus which we can not do this year.
