We now have a Shorter, Sharper Season, & Prize Money Boost.

So, now we will provide more cash, more class, and more motivation for you to play like a champion.
We will be providing bigger incentives for top teams, standout players, and individual team performances.

We’re thrilled to announce that Paul Bennett has been officially recognised for his dedication, tireless energy, and unwavering commitment to the League. His contributions have shaped our League in countless ways, and now, it’s time to celebrate the next chapter.
Please join us in congratulating Paul on this well-deserved recognition as Vice Chair. The League is stronger, brighter, and bolder with him in this role.

We are also pleased to announce that Steve Alderman of Gray’s Pot 9 is now a fully elected Committee Member. Steve’s dedication, sharp eye, and steady hand have earned him a well-deserved seat at the table. Whether it’s league logistics or late-night banter, we are very confident he will make his mark.

Match Table Access Reminder: Practice Window: Away teams should be given access the match table only between 7:45pm and 8:00pm. Teams arriving after 7:45pm will not be entitled to a practice game.

The Singles and Doubles entries have been extended until the December league meeting.

Also, a reminder that from the November meeting, new signings will only be accepted at league meetings rather than at any other format. For further guidance please contact the league secretary Donna Gibbs.

If you still have any outstanding prize money from last season, it will be still available for collection, but, in the first instance, please check with Mike John to organise this collection.

Got a match report, a pub tale, or a player who deserves a bit of limelight? Send it in. We’re building this newsletter like we build our league, together, pint by pint, frame by frame.

This season’s shorter, sharper, and richer. So, Let’s make this season one to remember, full of tight frames, good sportsmanship, and maybe the odd outrageous fluke.

A couple of notices for new teams. It is the responsibility of the winning team to submit scorecards via email, SMS or WhatsApp by the Saturday following the winning match in question. Most teams are eager to do this immediately after the match concludes!
Also, teams who lose in either the prelim or first round of the League Cup will be entered into the Plate competition which begins in February, with the exception of any top 6 Division 1 team from the previous season.


In an attempt to reduce our overheads, we have introduced an Email Information Service to provide members with monthly updates.
To help reduce costs, we would like members to subscribe to this Service. The email attachment will be identical to the book that team Captains/Secretaries have previously received by post, and will be available to all league members, not just Captains/Secretaries.
We fully understand that not everyone has access to the internet and email, so for those few teams the book will still be available by post.
Apart from the cost reduction, other advantages will be that the book will be available just a few days after the monthly league meeting, rather than the 11 days it now takes. Any mistakes that arise can be instantly corrected by sending a revised book. Any other information can be easily sent, eg, reminders of important dates such as league meetings and AGM's.
To add your name to the Service, simply send an email to bristolpoolleague(at)btinternet.com
Please include the word Pool in the subject line, and in the message box leave your name, team name(s), and whether you are Captain or Secretary of your team, or that you are just a playing member of your team(s). You will receive an email shortly after to confirm your inclusion in the Service.
