BILLIARDS There are two full-sized superb snooker tables in the snooker
room adjacent to the sports bar. Members wishing to play just chalk their names
on the booking board and await their turn. The lights are powered by a token purchased
at the sports bar and, for the sake of fairness, each game comprises one session
of lights, after which the next players take their turn. In this way, we all have
an opportunity to play before too long a wait. The club has four teams entered
in the Didcot & District Snooker League and they are always looking for new
players. Also club competitions in billiards and snooker are held every year
during the summer months. The
club also has a Bar
Billiards Team and they are always looking for new players. For
more information, please contact Leon Beer, Sue Atkins, or Colin Beaver, Gary

SALLY/CRICKET/FOOTBALL In the summer, Aunt Sally is played on a Wednesday.
Friendly and league games are played and everyone has a good time. All are welcome.
The Aunt Sally pitch is found at the rear of the club in the beer garden.
For those of you who do not know what Aunt Sally is played by players throwing
batons at a wooden skittle known as a doll and goes back at least as far as the
17th Century. Also
we play local pubs and clubs at cricket and football, this is purely for fun and
a very enjoyable day out. For more information, please contact the club on
