REF:66-2110-5967705 - Cost of playing pool

Your comment: The hub in Fferm Penglais have recently gone up from 50p to 80p per game. I find this increase unjustifiable. The pool tables are not well looked after as they are, with the tables broken on a regular basis, the balls are in a bad state as well as the cues. The tables don't actually fit in the room in the most functional way either since you cannot play pool when someone is playing on the football table. As well as other things obstructing game play as well. I would also like to enquire if and when the hub will be open 24 hours again, since last year this was suspended even though the sign on the front door clearly states that it is a 24hr accessible study space throughout this.

Thank you for your comment about the price of pool tables in Sgubor lounge in Fferm Penglais. The pool tables are run by an outside company and their prices have been held at the same 50p level for the last 5 years. Regrettably they’ve had to go up this year to reflect increased costs and banking charges. The company initially proposed £1 but after negotiations agreed to restrict the rise to 80p.

Don’t forget we also offer free pool nights to members of the SU pool society. If you enjoy playing a lot of pool, please consider joining. It's also a great way to make new friends to play pool with.
