SNOOKER
Hereford Snooker League
The Hereford Snooker League AGM will be held at Hereford Military Club on Wednesday, July 21 at 7.30pm.
Registrations will then be taken for teams to enter the next season which will commence in September/October.
Applications will also be welcomed from any new teams who wish to enter.
At the AGM, the league will also be looking to appoint a new secretary because the present post holder is moving from the area.
Anyone who is interested in taking on this role should make their interest known to any of the committee, or attend the AGM to do so.
The outgoing secretary is happy to spend time with the new appointment to explain the role and introduce them to the management of the league website.
