Please ignore the specific event date above, this is a general request for Hike Norfolk members wanting a social game of snooker or bar billiards with new (and existing!) friends.
A few weeks ago we set up the Hike Norfolk squash group and this is going well, I've got three games this week and so that means I can eat more with all this fitness! Anyone wanting to join, please email jw@julianwhite.uk, we have experienced players and new players. The games are at Wensum Sports Centre on King Street. It's organised on a WhatsApp group and people just say if they'd like a game and see who is available. You'll be able to play opponents of similar sort of ability, unless you're really good in which case you might have to lower your expectations :)
Anyway, given the success of what, I'm now setting up a snooker and bar billiards group! The plan is the same, we'll organise games informally on WhatsApp so it might be just two people playing each other. If we can get a few people together for an evening, we can then post on Meetup to make it a larger event with food and drink as well, see how it goes. I'm on a bar billiards team in the league but always need more practice, and I'm hopeless at snooker but love playing it. All abilities welcome, the aim is that it's just some fun.
Let me just stress the fun and informal element, it's about having an enjoyable evening out, no-one will be criticised for not being very good. I might criticise someone who regularly gets snooker breaks of over 100 though :)
Everyone is welcome regardless of Ramblers group membership. Will likely use Riley's for snooker, but might do other venues for a day out and we can rotate around the bar billiard tables. Likely be an emphasis on the White Lion as that's my favourite pub and that's my home bar billiards team :)
Anyone interested, please email jw@julianwhite.uk and I'll set up a WhatsApp group.
