Unlike all the hassle experienced with pool balls, these were ordered on a Saturday morning and all arrived by Wednesday. Wonder how long they'll survive?

Friday 11th Nov 2011
We meet at usual, but the club was held in the worship area instead of the main hall. This was because the hall was being set up for a church event on the Saturday.
The table tennis and new snooker / pool tables were moved in, having taken out 20 or so chairs to make room. The "faith discussion" slot looked at what is important to us (family, friends, gadgets to name a few) and which we would be prepared to give up. Many answered "it depends on who it is given up for?".
We then watched a video about the story of Private Gordon, who gave his life to save other prisoners of war from being killed. After the God Slot, several of the young people talked about a visitor to the school, one of the survivers of the concentration camps of the Second World War.

New Snooker / Poll Table In Use
Well, despite numerous problems, excluding the latest one with the cues, the new snooker / poll table was constructed and put to use on 4th November 2011.
One of the younger people had the honor of being the first to use the table and our female leaders was the first adult.
And so to the latest issues! Despite checking with the company and table manufacturer, the 2" "spot and stripped" pool balls are just too big for the table and are being sent back. The search is now on for another campany who can supply a set. There is no felt tip on the cues, just a wooden end. It was a real shame as there has been problem after problem with getting the equipment and it is not over yet. Oh well, patience is a virtue, so they say!
