TABLE NOW SOLD !
We have a client who is willing to sell their immaculate corner bevel faceted square leg snooker table .
SQUARE LEGS DO NOT COLLECT DUST like turned leg ones do .
And they are more contempery looking to fit most decors .
The polish on the woodwork and the cloth condition can only be described as mint condition
The table is located near Lytham St Annes Blackpool area .
Price includes Scoreboard balls and all rest equipment and a dust cover Buyer to arrange and pay for dismantle and relocation from a Ground floor Garage that was converted to snooker room .
so an easy pick up .
As the photos show the table is in Mint condition , and will not require an expensive re-cloth or nets , or nets and leathers or even re-rubber , which can be very costly , this table is ready for play it does not require any work to get it to that standard it is already there , cloth can be re-stretched back on .
price does not include dismantle and relocation and set up …contact Geoff at GCL billiards for a price to do this with your post code , we only do ground floor installs NO STAIRS …but you can use any Billiard firm to do the relocation the sale is not dependant on using GCL billiards but we are a top class firm in the art of relocating tables .
Just a little gadget we use to test the rebound value of Cushion rubber by ball distance roll , and also speed of cloth .
Made by the Late Dave Gibson for use in his own billiard hall in Beeston Nottingham to inform him of the state of his tables speed and cushion life .
I purchased it 10 years ago with some other bits and bob’s on the close down of the billiard hall , from his widow Kathy , and she was pleased it was still going to be used .
The ball is placed on the ramp and is clasped into place and held by a spring loaded lever , press to release and the ball rolls down at its own release pace not assisted , it hits the end cushion from its baulk line start line , and you measure the return travel of the ball to access the condition of the rubber .
It is the same with cloth speed , you can see if you think you need your cloth re-stretching , or compare a fast paced match or ultra fine cloth speed on on one table, to say the slowness of thick heavy club cloths .
a usefull tool and I was delighted to own it .
and still put to the use it was intended for , more so with me as a fitter , than with a 10 table billiard hall , it is now used on hundreds of tables , to show clients the state of play on their tables
Phone Karen on club phone 01530 412438 to book or reseve your ticket …only two days to go
I have just spent 4 days this week re-furbishing the playing surface and pockets on 5 full size Riley Snooker tables at the Ivanhoe social club at Ashby de la Zouch LE65 2GW .
TOM FORD The Professional Snooker player ranked 24th in the world will be playing on Table 2 this Saturday , playing against local club members , meet and great autograph signing and photo opertunity , exhibition shots , and a prize Hand spliced Britannia Cue raffle
The ivanhoe club has many of these professional players attend for exhibition nights , they have had some great professional exhibition players in the past , and few of the locals are tasty players too .
the tables are always busy in this club .
And they have their own room , sepperate from the main bar area , with sliding bifolds to close it off completley if required .
The 5 full size Imperial model tables circa 1930s / 60s upgraded by Riley Leisure to modern arsitocrat cushion just over 20 years ago .the club have the tables re-clothed every 18 to 24 months depending on use and wear .
I used to do the maintenance on the 5 tables for the firm I worked for before I went self employed in May 2012 .
and I have a very good relationship with the Club , in fact they where the very first Job that I took on as a self employed Billiards fitter .
A few Photos showing the great expense this club goes to , to provide decent playing conditions of the Snooker tables .
All work useing UK made products , re-clothed in strachan 6811 tournament 100% pure new wool cloth 30 oz weight , and Peradon high quality thick leathers and nets used .
The club have a high care of maintance and the tables are visited most days for , Brushing and ironing .
New modern lighting was fitted around 7 years ago , to replace the old fashioned coffin shaped bulb lighting .
***Modern cushions and pockets on better Welsh slate , with modern lighting , this is the best combination .
Welsh slate is far superior than the soft slate they use on modern tables of today , in fact I have seen some shocking Italian / Brazialian and Chinese sourced slate which is realy soft and powdery to the touch .
You cannot get good old hard blue Welsh slate anymore , where many would have replaced the whole table , the fitting of modern cushions and pockets to the high quality welsh slate was the way to go .
I know of no better quality slate than Welsh and Irish slate .
It is a pity Billiard slates are too expensive to produce in Wales anymore .
****SOLD within Five days of advertising .. 2 where after it ,,, sold to first one to complete purchase , Selling client delighted .
and so is the Buyer . Qulaity table , that if made to day would be very expensive to produce in Oak and steel cushions .
A very nice Oak Burroughs and watts billiards table circa around 1920/30s
Oak has a nice 1/4 sawn pattern . which means it was constructed from selected oak plank pieces in the factory and not just any low grain offcutts .
My client is very realistic in his pricing of the table which is located near to Stroud in the west of England .
The table is on the Ground floor , it will in my opinion require a full renovation of the playing surface , cloth and rubber , maybe upgrade the nets and leathers but I think it may lose it’s old ORIGINAL charm to replace billiard bag nets with ball rail nets and rails .
any one interested in this full size Billiard /Snooker table contact Geoff Large at GCL billiards for further information , and I will pass on your details to the selling client , who will then give me permission to let you have his contact details .
Burroughs and watts are regarded as one of the best billiard table manufacturers some say the rolls royce of billiard firms , but I think George Wright and Orme & sons are also on a level of B&Watts , Burroughs & Watts where credited with the first use of Steel braced cushions known as steel vaccum or Steel block cushions , which is still used to the same design on modern match play tables of today on TV .
Steel cushions give you a better ball responce in rebound and speed off the cushions , plus lower noise when the ball hits the cushion , not so much of a thud sound which a normal full wood cushion often sounds like .
There are a few mahogany B&WEatts tables for sale but Oak ones only come up now and again , not saying it is rare to find but not as many as mahogany for sale .
which is a good point for our selling client , as I do not think the table will be up for sale long at this price .

Above loading of Table parts , this one was going into storage so rather than blanket wrap it was bubble wrapped .
Above a small 7ft billiard table re-rubber in best Northern rubber .
Below same table with a Burgundy cloth re-cloth and new nets and leathers .
Above , Re-rubber full size on site and use templates to get 100% accurate pocket openings
this is the best way to have your table re-rubbered and not to guess the size by taking cushions back to a workshop and estimating it all . Pocket could be tight or large openings depending on what the fitter takes off .
By using the actual tables bolted on cushion positions there is no mistake .
You can also instruct to make them larger or smaller openings .
Above a table we dismantled and stored in our clients Garage ready for collection by a buyer
Below a table that was moved by our client and a builder , and placed like this in a room ready for us to call and erect it .
the table was upstairs which we do not do anymore , but the builder had a extending beam fork lift to pass these slates through a window , and his work force left them like this for us to sort out .
Below the builders table now complete and set up .
the table is a tournament steel professional match cushion model Riley Aristocrat in very good condition .
we fitted a Hainsworth Match cloth to this table .
Now and again we get asked to ship full size tables over to France , below we have palletised
a table for our courier in Lincoln to ship out and deliver to site .
Note we put every part onto one pallet but the tow long sides are separate and the shade if also sent .
it would help if anyone in France has access to a extending beam fork lift to help unload , most rural farmers have them .
Below how an extending beam Manitiou fork lift , was used to unload a table to an upstairs opening in France
We also do pool tables from UK small pub type to these American 9ft type .
The cloth on this job was ordered special to incorporate Budweiser themed print in three colours staggered at Butlins Skegness hot shots .
