Snooker

WORDS: GORDON ROBINSON

Of course, there has been no snooker action for quite some time, and it seems that there will be none until at least late April or May. There has been some action, though, as during February the Club engaged Wai Ming Billiard Co to re-cover the table with new cloth. This was an interesting operation to observe as two craftsmen removed the cushions and pockets, stripped off the cloth, sanded and levelled the slate bed and adjusted the table legs before laying the new cloth and reassembling the whole thing, all in about five hours. Thanks to House Manager Lorence Leung for his assistance and co-operation.

The photos show the work in progress, where the five pieces of slate that form the bed are visible, and the finished job.
