St Chad’s has run a Snooker<br />
Club for about 90 years. In<br />
1990 Norman Swift joined<br />
them and was soon asked to run<br />
both the club and its finances.<br />
Billiards and snooker tournaments<br />
were soon organised and the<br />
biennial ‘Snookathon’, raising money<br />
for charity, was instigated.<br />
Thanks to Norman’s financial<br />
expertise some of the money raised<br />
from subscriptions was used for the<br />
upkeep of the table, and although<br />
other groups use it, maintenance to<br />
‘match condition’ is entirely funded<br />
by the club members.<br />
In 1996 we joined the Sheffield<br />
Churches Snooker League which<br />
was then made up of ten teams.<br />
Unfortunately, over the years several<br />
clubs have withdrawn, mainly due to<br />
poor membership and there are now<br />
only four teams left in the league.<br />
We have had varying success in<br />
this league and two years ago we<br />
finally won the cup. This last season<br />
St. Chad’s won it again and the<br />
photograph shows the successful<br />
team: Harold, Graham, Mark, Nick<br />
and Dave. Doug and Ron have also<br />
played for us on two occasions.<br />
The club meets on Monday<br />
mornings and evenings where there<br />
is a light-hearted atmosphere and<br />
friendly matches.<br />
Subs are easily manageable, so<br />
if you, or someone you know would<br />
like to come and join us you will be<br />
made very welcome. Our club is<br />
open to both church and members<br />
of the local community. For more<br />
