This years Presentation Night is on August 21, and will literally be Pool themed!
Each team that win their respective division, Wednesday and Sunday, will be asked to nominate one player to play in a special exhibition match. The opposition will be chosen from two of the top Welsh teams, and managed by Dave Beese, owner of our trophy supplier, Direct Source.
As well as these 8 players, the League Singles champion will be invited, as will both the Doubles champions. The team will be completed by the Ladies champion. Ole Bale will also be present to play exhibition pool.
The main pool room at the Three Crowns will be turned into a two table arena to host the event.

Next season’s registration forms should be submitted at August’s League meeting. This is to give the Committee the best chance to re-organise the new season. All forms should be fully completed and returned with all fees that are due. Any registrations received after this date will only be accepted on a first come first served basis.

In an attempt to reduce our overheads, we are introducing an Email Information Service to provide members with monthly updates.
As discussed at the last AGM, the cost of supplying our members with all the latest news and information through our monthly book is going up all the time, and was well over £1200 last season.
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 the Bristol Pool League.
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.

FREE POOL!!!!!!!!! … The Three Crowns have announced “happy hours” of pool. Between noon and 5pm, each Monday to Thursday, their tables will be open for anyone who fancies some free practise.
