Pool Committee

The Pool Committee was a part of The Lambs from at least 1899 until 1975.

The Pool Committee exists to manage the Billiards Room. Management ideas are brought to the Shepherd, or in his absence, the Boy. After the Pool Committee discussion of the issue, the Shepherd will ensure that all items of concern are addressed. Action plans will be communicated back to members of the Pool Committee.

Purpose of the Pool Committee

The Pool Committee shall arrange Billiards Room functions for the benefit of members and their guests in accordance with the Club rules. The Pool Committee will generally liaise with the Entertainment Committee and Games Sub-Committee to ensure members can utilize the Billiards Room at all times during Club activities.

The Pool Committee will set a calendar of events each year, consider member feedback and experiences in planning and recruit volunteers to assist in the running of Billiards Room events.

The Pool Committee has five core objectives:
1. To promote and regulate the playing of pool at The Lambs;
