Pool Area
The Cashmere Club has one of New Zealand's premier Club-run pool areas, with 12 competition-grade pool tables and 2 snooker tables. These are for the use of club members and their guests, and approved tournaments.
If you'd like to play here, you'll need to become a club member - you can join at the bar ($35 for a year). There are three ways to get involved in pool - Casual, Social, or Interclub (more info below).
Got a young person keen to play? That's awesome! Please note that all children 15 and under must be supervised by an adult member aged 18 or over.
Just keen for casual play? Whilst all the pool tables are in use during tournaments, on a 'normal' week, you'll generally be able to book a table or two from Thursday through to Sunday, and earlier in the week (Mon-Wed), probably just until 6.30pm (as scheduled playing like Social Pool/Interclub normally kick off at 7pm).
> Please take a moment to read the conditions of use & rules for play at our club (they're also displayed in the pool area).
Three Ways to Play
A 'normal' week...
Casual | pop your 50c coins in the light meter (1 coin = about 15 minutes). Lights are free at certain times (Thursdays from 5pm, all day Sundays).
Social Pool | A friendly league for all club members and levels, that costs just $5/night to join. Expect to be paired up with someone for a fun night that's a great way to meet people and develop skills!
Interclub | A competitive league for pool section teams from Chartered Clubs across Canterbury. To find out more, contact Canterbury 8Ball (Interclub coordinators), or email Cashmere Club's pool section.
Outside of tournament times, this is what a 'normal' week generally looks like - but this can change, so feel free to call us and check!
Mondays | Casual til 6.30pm, Social from 7pm
Tuesdays| Casual til 6.30, Interclub from 7
Wednesdays | Casual til 6.30, Interclub from 7
Thursdays | Casual all day - lights free from 5pm
Fridays | Casual all day
