Snooker and Billiards NSW was formed in 2017 and previously known as the NSW Billiards and Snooker Association Inc. which was established in 1917.
Our Constitution
In November 2017 a Special General Meeting was held to adopt a new constitution for our Sport in NSW. Aside from the new constitution, a resolution was passed to change the name from Billiards and Snooker Association of NSW Inc. to Snooker and Billiards NSW. This name changed is aligned with changes to other sports across NSW.

The adoption of a new constitution marks a new era for our sport after we recently celebrated the 100 year anniversary. A key feature of the new constitution is the removal of references to legacy positions such as President, Secretary and Treasurer. Instead, the Board will consist of a minimum of 4 and maximum of 7 Directors of which one will be voted by the elected Board as the ‘Chairman’.
