Buckingham Snooker Club is a Members only Club partnered with the Slade Recreation Club, home to the Slade Indoor Bowls Club. Our club room includes 4 quality full size snooker tables and comes with a range of cues and accessories as expected. The cost of the lights is currently at £6 per hour with each £1 giving 10 minutes of table lighting. All tables are available for play including the match table.
Buckingham Snooker Club was established in 1887 making it one of the oldest clubs in the UK. Back then, we just had one three quarter sized table and over the years have moved premises to allow for a growing membership and the addition of more full sized tables. The club holds regular competitions aimed at all player levels and, in some cases, using handicap systems to keep things fair. The aim of the club is to promote the game of snooker and billiards ensuring the members enjoy the game. Joining is easy, click on the membership page.
The club also has a Team (Called Buckingham WhiteSnakes) of 6 players who play in the Milton Keynes & South Beds League. https://live.leagueapplive.com/start.php?sitename=mkcsl.

We have recently spent a lot of money investing in the club and made a number of improvements for our members benefit, which included the following:
- New coin meters bought and repositioned on the left wall alongside each table which, gives a better and quicker service to the players instead of walking to the end of the club.
- Removal of a very old fan heater, replacing with 4 New electric fan heaters
- A lick of paint to the club walls
- New ceiling tiles and spot lights, replacing the florescent long bulbs we had before.
- A selection of accessories for each table including extendable rests and new cues
- Lit scoreboard which comes on when you put your first pound in, and remains on when the meter runs out to provide some emergency lighting (in case the main ceiling lights has been turned off)
- Addition of an air purifier since Covid-19 outbreak, plus new ventilation system
- A fridge installed so members can purchase drinks all year round, and not have to bring their own.
- New LED ceiling mounted lights (see photo below)
