THE 1ST (EVER) BOWLS ON A SNOOKER TABLE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP


For all the uninitiated members of the Club, the infamous Pot Black has again been at the forefront of breaking new boundaries. Having had a set of carpet bowls in the club to entertain our punters on drunken silly games days (which seem to happen more and more regular), it got noticed by our ever-so competitive dart team players. Thinking they are obviously going to be brilliant at it (like they think they are at everything) on a few Friday nights after darts, instead of playing "spoof" or "Liar dice" the table bowls got a airing. Then, like every game they play, it got ultra competitive and after a lot of friendly bitchiness of "who's the best" the Worlds Snooker bowls competition was formed! After beating off Barry Hearns to stage it at Wembley "Mick Wall Promotions" finally got the contract for Saturday 16 th. Jan at the Club and this was the night sporting history was going to be made! So if you've not fell asleep and are still interested who won, you can click on POT BLACK DARTS on your right where the uncut version of the how the night unfolded and who is now the undisputed Table Bowls Champion of the World!!!!!

SNOOKERED?

THIS AGAIN IS FOR ALL MY REALLY "OLD" FRIENDS WHO KNOW ALL THE RULES ABOUT EVERYTHING. I COULD FIND NO REGULATION ON WHETHER YOU HAVE TO USE THE CUE IN YOUR RIGHT OR LEFT HAND. OR IF USING A STABLIZER ON THE TABLE FOR BALANCE IS ALLOWED. BUT AS I'M NOT NEARLY AS OLD AS MOST OF YOU I DON'T KNOW ALL THE RULES.





To all you snooker and pool players...





The question has come up





"Is this Cheating?








It really doesn't matter to me.......I was just wondering?

SEASONAL GREETINGS FROM THE POT BLACK STAFF


To all our members old or new, or if are one of the few who have moved away from the infamous Pot Black Club and the Website is the only way to keep up with things happening in the club we (all the staff) wish YOU ALL a very happy and healthy Xmas and new Year!

As you can read below its a busy time of the year for events in the club so I hope there is something for you all to enjoy and if not, you can always just wander down and have a game of snooker when your bored of sitting at home. Also, when your fed up with Turkey and mince pies, Rene and Chris will still be making the best Rolls in Town for your convenience.

Xmas Eve has always traditionally been the IN place to be with plenty of games (I hear I've volunteered to do a race day from 3pm to 6pm), having a pre-Xmas drink and generally being part of a really great time!!! So if my Staff or myself don't see YOU over Xmas I hope next year is a good one for you ALL!!!

JOKE CORNER

9 Months Later...


Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob.


So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north.


After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard.

They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.

'I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained.

'I'm afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house.'

'Don't worry,' Jack said. 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn, and if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.'

The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.

Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way.

They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing. But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney.

It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, 'Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?'

'Yes, I do.' said Bob

'Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?'

'Well, um, yes !,' Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit that I did.'

'And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?'

Bob's face turned beet red and he said, 'Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy, I'm afraid I did.' 'Why do you ask?'




'She just died and left me everything.'
