As restrictions ease as the Club gradually re-opens I wanted to take the opportunity of reminding you all that the snooker tables are available for play after May 17th 2021 and bookings can be made now by e mailing Robert.

Tuesday evenings at the club has always been the Snooker Club Night and these evenings will return after Monday June 21st 2021 - if you are interested in playing snooker on a social basis then please come along and meet other like minded members. The emphasis is very much on sociability and levels of skill are not a criteria!

The Club does also have a schedule of snooker evening matches against other local organisations which are based again on the social enjoyment of meeting members of both organisations - if you are interested in playing in any of these then please let me know.

After a long winter of lockdown and very little to do I am hoping to see many of you at the club in the near future.

Please all stay safe.

Allan Williams | Captain of Snooker

The Ipswich and Suffolk Club boast a superb snooker facility with two first class tables in gererously proportioned adjacent rooms, conveniently located next to the club bar!

Here a thriving snooker section plays informally on a daily basis and throughout the year in club and inter-club competition.

The snooker section has for many years been under the capable stewardship of Snooker Captain Allan Williams, who with the help of the snooker committee makes sure that the full programme of matches are always well attended and much enjoyed by all.

Owing to their popularity, the Ipswich & Suffolk Club runs two Book Groups for the enjoyment of its members.

Running throughout the year, the Book Group operates on either the first or the third Wednesday of every month depending upon which group you join.

The club Book Groups see an eclectic range of modern and classic literature discussed by its members.

All members are welcome to come along and join the discussions plus enjoy an informal light lunch afterwards.

Captained by Maurice Barnes, the Ipswich & Suffolk Bridge Club meets at 9.30 on Tuesday mornings for competitive but friendly duplicate bridge in the Adam Room. Any club member who has experience of playing bridge is welcome to join us but we are not a suitable group for beginners.

Many of our members are keen amateur golfers and the club’s golf section provides regular opportunities to play in friendly competition.

Matches are played annually against local rivals, the Bury Farmers Club and the Colchester Garrison Officers Club and every year the Barnard Cup (stableford golf day) and Northgate Trophy (knockout) are keenly contested.

For more information about club Golf please contact our Captain of Golf, Allan Gosling. via the club general office.

Due to the current situation with COVID, our Scrabble evenings are currently on hold. Once Boris has given the go ahead to lift all restrictions, we are hoping to restart our games.
Watch this space!

Our Chess Club runs the second Wednesday of every month commencing 6:30pm and is open to all members whether you are a complete beginner, rusty player or more experienced as the group can cater for all levels and abilities. Please do bring along a board if you have one.

Please note that there is no catering at this event but the Club Bar will be open.
