Alan Thomas (ART)

It is with great sadness that I write this post to inform you all that Alan Thomas (GESM B) has unfortunately passed away. As many of you know, Alan was a true gentleman and had a huge passion for snooker all of his life, having played and contributed to the Warrington snooker league for well over 50 years. He will be truly missed.

On a personal level I have known Alan since I was 15 years old and he was my first captain when I began playing in the snooker league at the time for the GESM B team. I will be sure to have a frame for 50p and a double grouse this weekend to celebrate the life of a top bloke.

For those interested, the funeral arrangements are as follows;
Tuesday 14th January 2020
10am - St Wilfrid's Church Grappenhall
11am - Walton Lea Crematorium
Flowers: Family Only
Donations: TBC

Our thoughts at this time are with Alan's family and close friends.

RIP Alan Thomas

Free Ball Rule

Please note that when a player is awarded a free ball they MUST nominate the ball they are going to take prior to their shot. Failure to nominate a free ball will result in a foul against the player.

Revised Handicaps

Please can all captians check new players handicaps on your relevant team pages to ensure they are using the correct handicap if any adjustments have been made. The handicap to be used should be the one that is (listed in brackets) next to each players name. If they are a new player, these will be adjusted at each monhtly meeting until the player has completed their first 6 frames.

Walkers - Home Matches

Please be aware that Walkers snooker room has now re-opened so all the matches scheduled for this venue will now be played as normal at Walkers with immediate effect. The league would like to thank the Irish Club for allowing Walkers 'A' to play their home games at their venue whilst Walkers was being refurbished.

Any other issues or queries, please do not hesitate to contact the comittee.

Many thanks

New Players looking to join the Warrington Snooker League

Earlier this week I was contacted by a potential new player who is looking to join the Warrington Snooker League. Should any team captains/representatives require any additional players, please can you make me aware and I can forward on any relevant contact details them to get in touch.

We occasionally get new players throughout the season who are looking to join the league, so if any teams are looking to bolster their sqauds please can you let me know and I can forward any details throughout the season. 

Many thanks
Pat Wisedale

Tuesday 3rd Setember 2019

As I am sure a few of you are aware all fixtures and team players have been uploaded onto the website under the 2019/20 tab. Please can all team representatives review and if you have any issues/queries please contact the comittee.

Please note some players who have played in the league during previous seasons may be showing as 'New Players'. The reason for this is due to one of the following;

• Player has not yet particiapted 6 league games therefore still qualifies as a new player until they have played this number of games.
• Returning player to the league after two full seasons away to have their handicap monitored as per the rule which was voted on at the AGM.

We are very close now to having all the books printed. I am sorry for the delay in not getting a date to collect these out as of yet but this will be very soon. The league season will commence the week of Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th September.

Many thanks
Pat Wisedale
