We are looking for ten QCBC members to represent our club and compete against other billiard clubs in southern Arizona. The game is usually 8-ball. We want 6 primary and 4 alternate players to commit to being available to play one Saturday per month from October through April. So far everyone competing as a team has had a great time. Join us!
The board wants to thank Sue and John Anderson for hosting the QCBC garage sale. And thanks to all who donated sale items and their time to help out. The sale was very successful and we are anxious to use this cash for more billiard room improvements.
On November 9th 2019 Quail Creek will have its annual garage sale. Club treasurer John Anderson has graciously volunteered to sell items donated by club members. The proceeds from the sale will be used to improve the billiard room and will include the purchase of appropriate overhead lighting and a ball washer. If you have any salable items that you would be willing to part with for use in this worthy event you can contact Charles Astleford, Vice President, any time, at 520 625-1269 as he is storing items in his golf cart garage. Or, drop them off at John’s home beginning on November 7th. John resides at 1995 E Winter Hawk Place and his email address is drjohnpx@gmail.com.
Your assistance through donations would be greatly appreciated. Items that remain unsold will be donated to the White Elephant. Thanks in advance!

On August 5thThe Quail Creek Billiards Club and the Quail CreekPOA completed a major upgrade to the billiards room amenity. Three new professional quality eight-foot Diamond pool tables were installed. New balls, chairs, chair rails, bridges, cabinet, shelves, racks, covers and cues have also been added.
Peter Zeh, QCBC President, said, “Our club members, the POA and the people at Diamond really came together to make something incredible happen. The tables are top quality and make us step up our game. With three tables we get more play time during our tournaments and regular group events.”
The three tables have 1-inch one-piece slates for the smoothest of surfaces.Incredibly smooth blue Simonis cloth covers the table and rails to provide the best play possible.The expert installation team from Diamond Billiard Products, Inc. completed the delivery and installation in one day.Tom O’Dierno lines up a shot during the club’s Wednesday morning 9-Ball play.Klaus Schroeder, Adrian Lelea and Dave Goble concur that the new tables are both more enjoyable and challenging.
