The Club Waimea Snooker section will officially commence their 2015 season by contesting the Rex Plum Memorial Trophy on Sunday, February 22. This event holds a special place within the section as Rex was a most popular and enthusiastic member, as well as secretary from the time of the section’s inception in 1994 until his sudden death in 2011. The competition is played on a drawn pairs format, with points scored, both for and against, determining the overall winner. The next matter for resolution this year
will be the district interclub competition, involving Waimea, Suburban and Nelson City teams. Along with our own Club Championships, held over several months for different events, and arrangements for hosting and visiting other clubs from near and far, the 2015 season looks to be heading for a busy time for local snooker adherents. The Club Waimea snooker section is always ready to welcome new, or returning, players to their numbers. For more information contact either Shane Geddes on 544 2722 or Colin Bowden on 544 7819.
