Do we have any aspiring pool players in the club?  The annual County Pool Competition will be held at Lambton Street Youth Centre, Sunderland,  in accordance with COVID-19 safety guidelines, on the 27th May 2021.  

This competition is open to any young person in the club - if you'd like to enter, please email me for an entry form. There is a £10 club entry fee but this is only payable once, so if several people wanted to enter, the cost could be shared - there is a limit of two players per age group:-

• Over 10 and Under 12 on 1.9.20
• Over 12 and Under 14 on l. 9.20
• Over 14 and Under 16 on l. 9.20
• Over 16 and Under 19 on l. 9.20

Winners from this competition will go on to compete in the National Championships later in the year.

Next up they have a "Britain's Fittest Teen Competition!"

Prior to lockdown NABGC had hoped to start their new ‘Britain's Fittest Teen’.  Unfortunately that had to be put on hold due to lockdown.  Now however, they are re-launching this event.

They are pleased to say that this will be taking place after the summer.  For more information on this, please click on this link or check out the promotional video
