Whether you're looking for a club to have fun and banter with, or if you're looking to play competitively (or even both!) – we're definitely the club you'll want to join!
We're a club for players of any ability – everyone and anyone is welcome to join us and have a good time! Training will be available for anyone who wants to improve, or if you simply just want a few casual games as we provide weekly drop-in sessions.
We are a friendly bunch so feel free to drop by for a taster session any time throughout the year!
Competitions
For those members wanting to play pool competitively, we offer a wide range of opportunities to do so:
The Aberystwyth Pool League, which takes place every Tuesday against pubs from around the town. The league is split into several divisions, providing opportunities to players of all abilities.
Varsity, which is an annual tournament held against Bangor University. Having come tantalisingly close for the last few years, missing out by just one point twice, it would be amazing to secure the win at home this year.
The British Regions Tournament was an exciting addition to the Aber Pool calendar last year, and returns in mid-November (Details will be released soon on our Facebook and Instagram pages). Last year the BRT finals featured 5 Aber Pool members, with the Southwest and Wales B Team securing second place.
Last but definitely not least, the main event for student pool is BUCS. This is a national team and singles competition held every year against other universities from across the UK. Aber Pool has triumphed twice in the past few years, with the men winning the shield in 2020, and the women winning the championship in 2022.
All updates regarding competitions will be posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages, so keep your eyes peeled!
Our socials always start at the Students' Union after the Friday session.
We then tend to visit Irie's bar on Thespian St. before planning the rest of our evening. We can't wait to see you there!
