The clubвЂ™s manager Dino Georgiou commented: One club that has already stated its enthusiasm to join the initiative is Hazel Grove Snooker Club in Stockport. We want to demonstrate that snooker can be played in safe, clean and modern environments that are open to everyone.вЂќ

вЂњThe 147 Club is open to all types of facility where snooker is played, including commercial clubs, social clubs, community halls and leisure centres. вЂњThis important new scheme reflects feedback from clubs, recognising the improvements required to transform the look and feel of snooker clubs and showcasing the best places to play our sport. WPBSA Club and Facilities Manager Bob Hill said: The scheme also offers a bespoke insurance package for clubs of any shape or size. With the support and guidance of the EPSB, participating clubs will be required to meet set criteria around player welfare, insurance cover and coaching provision, with the aim of improving the club environment for all.ДЄt the same time, the clubs can gain substantial membership benefits by joining the 147 Club, such as inclusion on an official online club finder map, links into amateur competitions, training support and cost-saving advantages. The scheme aims to promote a modern, positive and progressive perception of clubs by improving standards, boosting the junior game and encouraging new players from all backgrounds into the sport. The English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards (EPSB) is today excited to announce the launch of the 147 Club вЂ“ the first club affiliation scheme of its kind for snooker clubs in England.
