Afford Pool League in Billiard Wholesale Directory

 

The league was formed in 1978 according to my records by a pool addict named Alan Rowe (RIP). Alan, when I first met him was being assisted by Sid Brough. Due to his health the chair was taken over by Paddy Drummond and assisted by Kim Newbon with Sid still looking after the books. The rest of the history of the league is simple. The late 80s saw the arrival on the scene of George Bradbury, who with Tony Beano Hazledine stormed onto the pool scene . During the Nineties the committee was made up of Tommy and Hazel Malbon and Tommy Clowes with George and Beano. In the 2004 season both Tommy and Hazel relinquished their posts due to work commitments and were soon joined in retirement by Tommy Clowes. To this day George is still the Chairman and after a short break Tony remains as the Secretary and now Treasurer. In 2004 the committee was boosted by the arrival of Paul Ward with the official name of Merits secretary. The names:- Stoke Pool League (my favourite), Carpets and Cane ,Stone Van Hire and now Afford Pool League.
