A billiard table is that richest of metaphors,
by turns a theatre, an altar, touchstone, gauntlet,
ritual ground, a gunfighter's high noon, a refuge,
a verdant landscape for balls to scatter and rest in meaningful synchronicity,
a classroom, a karma dance, mirror of moods, a guide and trusted friend...

They seem to have four full-sized tables. Is that correct?

brand new star tables all set up by simon barker

I am a snooker novice
but if I can scout any other specs for you
just let me know

I don't know much at all about snooker
but am excited to get more familiar
shoutout to mike/baize
you know while baize's tables were being constructed
they sponsored the refurbishing of a pub's snooker table across town
just for the love of the snooker/community
games can bring us together
