Pool at the Copper House Club

Blackball, like American-style eight-ball, is derived from an earlier game invented around 1900 and first popularized in 1925 under the name B.B.C. Co. Pool by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company. Like blackball today, the forerunner game was played with seven yellow and seven red balls, unnumbered (in contrast to the American-style numbered stripes and solids), a black ball, and the cue ball. The game had relatively simple rules compared to the modern game.

Where we play

The Club owns an excellent table, a permanent fixture in our downstairs games room. This is regularly kept in tip-top condition and is FREE to play on Fridays

There are cues if you don't have your own. Lights are free, and there's plenty of room for spectators.
