2022 Dues Suspended

Posted on by Jim Hall

Since our billiards room will be under construction for several weeks this year and since the club funds are sufficient to keep us going, the QCBC board voted to suspend annual dues for members who paid dues in 2019, 2020 or 2021.  In 2022 we will collect $10 per person for new applications. 

The board is really excited about the expansion of our billiards facilities and will work hard at making this transition as smooth as possible.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Since our billiards room is in the Madera Clubhouse the Quail Creek code of conduct is always in effect.  Article 2 – Code of Conduct can be found in the Quail Creek Property Owners Rules

The following additional  rules of conduct were approved by the QCBC board of directors for our members to discourage behaviors that would detract from our enjoyment of playing pool.  Please review these and provide feedback to the board if you like.

Break Sheets

Posted on by Jim Hall

You may have noticed that our members have started to use a piece of paper under the cue ball during a break shot.  This is a trick we learned from the Green Valley club who have saved a lot of wear on their cloth by using break sheets.  We are accumulating marks on the cloth of our tables.  The downward force on the cue ball compresses the cloth at the point of impact causing a dent.  The ball doesn’t spin at first so it skids along the cloth creating a streak. The cloth is pretty sturdy but the ball actually removes some of the dye.

Let’s all get in the habit of using the break sheets provided in the billiards room so we can extend the life and beauty of our tables.

Thank you for your cooperation.
