BILLIARDS is returning in 2022!

We are expecting to start the next season of Billiards starting 17th January 2022.

SSBC is looking to current and prospective members to nominate their interest in playing in either A or B Grade teams. If you are interested, please comment here or message us and we'll put your name down. Please advise what Grade you are looking to play also.

If you could please register your interest as soon as possible, and before January 10th, this allows us and the Bendigo Billiard & Snooker Association to organise the draw for each grade and be ready for a smooth start to the season

If you are not currently a member at SSBC, the annual membership fee is $50, with the match fee currently $7 each night you play.

Finally a Grand Final has been played!

After a few false starts, a couple of lockdowns followed by strong restrictions, we finally managed to finish the 2021 snooker season with our A Grade side taking out the final 6-5 over a very classy VRI Gold tonight

All frames were very close and it came down to the last couple of balls in the final frame to clinch the result.

Sandhurst wishes to thank the Bendigo Billiard & Snooker Association for pushing through and allowing us to finish the season.

We'd like to thank Golden Square Working Men's Club for the preparation of their fantastic tables and for hosting the final, and finally VRI Gold, for providing a thrilling competition on the night.

For those interested, the results were as follows:

Shane Preece 0-2 John Schenk
Kym Busby 1-1 Michael Schilling
Josh Sleeth 2-1 John Carter
Chris Elston 2-1 Reg Martin

Moving on to 2022, Bendigo Billiard & Snooker Association are looking to start Billiards in January, so if you are interested in playing please get in touch and let us know.

SSBC are looking to hold an in-house snooker comp soon as well as maybe some eightball on the 2 7ft tables we have available. Again, if you are interested in participating, let us know

The SSBC would like to convey our sincere condolences to the family and friends of John Bergman, who tragically lost his life last night.

While I personally did not know him very well, he was always very friendly to me and seemed like such a good natured person, and I know he was well liked in the 8 ball community.

His cousin has set up a GoFundMe to help with expenses at https://gofund.me/d95a976a if anyone would like to help.

Rest in peace John, you will be missed by many.

Hi all. A meeting was held on Friday 22nd January.

All committee positions were declared vacant and attending members put forward their nominations for these positions.

The new committee is as follows:

PRESIDENT - Shane Preece
VICE PRESIDENT - Rick Ermel
SECRETARY - Kym Busby
TREASURER - still vacant. Shane & Kym will manage until a new Treasurer can be found.

We'd like to thank the outgoing members for their contributions over the years and hope they remain connected to the club in some way or another.

Moving forward the current committee have been working hard to ensure we can recommence play and have finalised the required COVID-Safe plans, signage, sanitizer etc for the club room and have advised BBSA.

BBSA have indicated a return to play starting on the 9th Feb for B-Grade and 11th Feb for A-Grade, with team nominations required by the 1st Feb. We currently have enough players for a single A-Grade side, so we are looking to fill one more A-Grade and two B-Grade if possible.

If you are keen to play again, please make contact with us via Facebook Messenger or email us at [email protected].
