Some of the comments received:

  • The music was great and we would love to have this band again
  • The dinner was delicious, and it was a wonderful event
  • What a great idea - will invite more friends to joint us next time

Bonsor Snooker has won the Championship Trophy of the Lower Mainland Senior Snooker League. This is the first time EVER that Bonsor has won the overall league title. We played 18 matches winning 16 and are 4 games clear of the second placed teams.

Karim Tejani and Robert Lockhart led a 20-player team that based its success on team spirit and playing FOR each other. A truly remarkable win for Bonsor Snooker.

Snooker Congrats Feb 2024
