It was voted on at the AGM to rename this trophy to the Fraser Durham Trophy. A great legacy to one of our leagues top ranked players.

The idea is for this poster to be printed out and placed on a club’s wall/notice board around the country.
It’s amazing how many places you go that have no idea about our beautiful game….as a collective we can change that. Please print this out and place it in your local club. If you want this as a PDF file then please message me.
Let’s spread the word!!
I know this is on a snooker site, but still would apply to English Billiards

In our efforts to promote the game of English billiards in Winnipeg and throughout Canada, we are proposing to hold clinics for players in our local 8 ball and snooker leagues who may not be familiar with the game of English Billiards. We had 8 NEW players come out to Norwood Legion and all had a great time. Stay tuned for our next date.
We are also thinking about starting a Beginners Billiards club where NEW players to our league would receive some instruction as well as play in actual matches to apply what they have learned about our game. This is still in planning stages, so stay tuned

Hope to see more NEW players come out for our instructional nights and even join our league.
