    Used to be quite a few in West Kent too - I remember tables in Tonbridge, Southborough, Hadlow and West Malling (including the late, lamented Startled Saint).

    There's a table in the Golden Ball where the "bar" doesn't drop, are they in the York league?

    Ah, I see they started it

    Despite its continental origins, I always think of it as a quintessentially British game. Maybe it's the mixture of skill and silliness? I do know I was absolutely hopeless when I tried to play it in the 70s, but hope the revival continues apace.

    Reviving this thread has made me think - Dave, can you set-up another facilities filler that picks out 'bar billiard' for us (me!) to tick off?
