Night at the club

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 18 October 2012 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

South Shields Snooker Centre - my usual haunt.
Fives and threes to pass the time with a good pint and mates.
You can also play darts, cribbage, other card games, pool, and even snooker from a choice of seventeen tables!
