Dear Apex Committee Members,
I am writing on behalf of the Core Snooker Group, to highlight a critical concern regarding the current state of the snooker facility and to recommend essential improvements for the benefit of all residents.
Over the past several months, we have consistently observed issues affecting both the quality and safety of the snooker experience (photos attached). These include:
- Dented and worn-out snooker balls that are no longer playable at an acceptable standard.
- Broken or warped cue sticks and support sticks.
- Table alignment being adjusted by a carpenter rather than certified professionals, resulting in inconsistent play conditions, balls jumping out of the table which puts the possibility of breaking of ball/ glass material within area.
- Uneven lighting on the table and cushion wear that requires immediate attention.
With these challenges in mind, we propose the following actions for your consideration:
1. Upgrade the current snooker setup:
Replace the balls, cue sticks, support sticks, and table cushions; adjust the lighting and ensure professional table balancing; and install cue-stick holders on the walls to improve organisation and maintain equipment quality.
2. Evaluate the installation of an additional premium snooker table:
Installation of premium snooker table that would operate on a subscription basis for interested players, while the existing (or upgraded) table continues to serve as a common facility for all residents. This model will allow us to support both casual users and serious players.
3. Reassess the layout of the T5 games area:
We recommend exploring the option of exchanging the current carrom space with the snooker table area at T5 Game area to ensure that both games have adequate room for comfortable and safe play.
We believe these steps will significantly elevate the resident experience and strengthen the utility of our society’s sports facilities.Given that the snooker table is actively used by both regular players and non-players across all towers, timely intervention from the apex committee is essential to ensure a high-quality and sustainable playing environment.On behalf of Core Snooker Group
We request the committee to kindly review these recommendations and guide us on the next steps. The Core Snooker Group is fully prepared to support further discussions, assist with evaluations, and coordinate with vendors when required.
Thank you for your attention and continued support.
Pls note: The images of new balls, new support sticks are the personnel investments done by core snooker group (who are marked Cc in the email)

Dear Apex Team,
Thank you for assigning us the responsibility of repairing the snooker table.
After evaluating 4 vendors, the core team has shortlisted 2 professional vendors. Their quotations are attached for your review.
For your quick view - We have also prepared a comparative assessment outlining the must-have and good-to-have repair parameters. The team recommends proceeding with the must-have parameters to ensure proper and professional restoration.
Based on experience and responsiveness, the team recommends Shriram & Sons who has prior experience with the installation and servicing of the snooker table at CB in 2018, and has demonstrated faster response compared to other vendor.
We request your approval of the proposed budget to enable us to proceed with the repair at the earliest. (These rates are non-negotiated, and handed over to you for your best judgement)

Meanwhile, the table’s condition continues to deteriorate, and it is now increasingly difficult to play it in its current state.
May I request your expedited and decisive approval on this matter? (Esp when other playing facilities like TT table, crickets etc are getting upgrades faster).
We have shared all necessary inputs and would appreciate closure at the earliest to prevent further decline.
Looking forward to your support.
On behalf of Core Snooker Group,
Best Regards Ajit Sent from my iPhone.
Here’s a more humble, simple, and polished version:
Thank you, sir, for your much-needed intervention. I truly appreciate your personal effort in going beyond expectations and considering an additional table.
Just sharing a small perspective:
A) A pool table is smaller (7–9 ft) and suited for casual, quicker play, whereas a snooker table is larger (11–12 ft) and more technical, which aligns better with the core group’s requirement, as you are aware.
B) For control, it may help if the system is process-driven rather than person-driven—like a simple subscription model, booking-based access, or a nominal prepaid charge per game for non-subscribers.
We will await your guidance and next steps.
Happy to help with selection of table from the professional vendors to move this forward.
Thanks,
Ajit
I would like to once again follow up on the pending request for repair/ replacement of the Snooker table, which has remained unresolved since November (6+months)
Over the past several months, our team has proactively supported the process by arranging quotations, evaluating replacement options, and exploring repair possibilities. Unfortunately, despite numerous discussions / email exchanges, there has been no closure/ visible progress.
The table’s condition has now deteriorated further and is adversely impacting the quality of play. It is concerning that after 6 months of continuous follow-up, the issue remains where it started.
May I request your intervention to help bring this matter to closure at the earliest. A clear update on the decision and expected timeline would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your support.
On behalf of Snooker enthusiasts!
As requested, we could arrange a quotation on a fast-track basis for a NEW snooker table installation from Sharma Billiards & Co. (Quote pasted herewith/ attached), a reputed and leading provider in this category (Sharma Billiards Shop).
In summary, the total cost quoted is approximately INR 2.40 lakh (Option 1) & INR 3.80 lakh (Option 2), which is inclusive of TABLE + ACCESSORIES. Pls note INR 35K additional charges of Supply/Transportation and installation of the table.

Dear Khilan, Jaineel, Ashish & Team,
Thank you for your input.
I would like to clarify that the approved new snooker table is a Championship-Size Table (12 ft × 6 ft), which was the unanimous preference of the snooker-playing community around 18-20 regular players (few copied in a separate email trail and shall share the list soon).
Based on the dimension-based assessment conducted jointly by the vendor and experienced snooker enthusiasts, the Championship-Size Table cannot be accommodated in the existing Snooker Room while maintaining the minimum playing-area requirements necessary for proper gameplay.
Further, in Murtuza's presence today, we re-demonstrated how the CURRENT TABLE 10 ft × 5 ft table itself faces playing limitations, particularly for width-based shots (photo attached). This reinforces the assessment that a larger championship-size table cannot be optimally accommodated in the CURRENT SNOOKER ROOM, as we all together signed off.
Accordingly, the technical & practical recommendation is as follows:
1. Retain the existing snooker table in its current location.
2. Continue using the existing table for recreational, beginner, and academy-level play
3. Undertake feasible minor repairs through the vendor, wherever possible, at no additional cost vs immediately disposing/selling.
4. Given the current utilization of approx.12/Hrs/Day across towers, immediate disposal/ selling/ replacement of the existing table is neither practical nor beneficial. Retaining both tables will significantly improve accessibility and reduce waiting time for residents.
5. Separately, we fully support Khilan & Jaineel’s taking the lead on a dedicated Pool Table and Foosball project. A pool table can be readily procured through the existing vendor (Sharma Billiards Shop Sharma Billiards Shop ) at an estimated cost of approximately INR 1.75 lakh++ GST & transportation (CAPEX). Foosball table costing to be shared in a day or two.
6. From a space-planning perspective, both Pool and Foosball tables can be accommodated in the current Carrom area and, subject to future decisions regarding the existing snooker table (dispose/sell), may subsequently be relocated to the current Snooker Room (where it is feasible to accommodate pool table W4.5 x L-9.5). This proposal should be evaluated independently with its own OPEX assessment and should not be linked to the current Championship-Size Snooker Table project.
7. Install the new Championship-Size Table in the Viewing Gallery, which is the only assessed location capable of accommodating the table and its required playing area while preserving existing recreational facilities. The suitability of alternative locations, including the current Snooker Room and Carrom Room, has already been addressed in the FAQ communication shared earlier.
8. While the Viewing Gallery has certain limitations, such as lower ceiling height and the requirement for continuous air-conditioning, it remains the most practical and technically feasible option among all locations evaluated.
Championship-Size Snooker Table – CAPEX & OPEX Summary
| Category | Particulars | Estimated Cost (INR) |
| CAPEX | Championship Table & Accessories (balls, cues, rests, spider, heater, lights, triangle, brush, iron, etc.) | 3,80,000 |
| Transportation | 25,000 | |
| Installation | 10,000 | |
| Total CAPEX (one time cost) | 4,15,000 | |

Dear Apex team,
Further to our internal meeting yesterday, we met Mr. Nitesh Sharma, the exclusive dealer and distributor of Sharma Billiards Accessories for Maharashtra and Gujarat, today at his Kalyan warehouse to evaluate the proposals for:
1. Supply of a Championship-Size Snooker Table.
2. Replacement/disposal of the existing snooker table.
3. Procurement of a new Pool Table and Foosball Table (Quote attached).
Below is a summary of our discussions and the agreed outcomes.
1. Champion Level Snooker Table (Sharma S1 Premium)
· Our internal decision
o CAPEX approved: INR 4.15 Lacs/-
o The price includes the table, all accessories, and the specifications mentioned in the previously shared S1 quotation.
· Discussion with the vendor
o The dealer has confirmed immediate delivery upon receipt of the Purchase Order (PO), with the same configuration, quality, and specifications as quoted.
2. Replacement of Existing Pool Table – Disposal / Buyback
· Our internal decision
o Explore the options of selling, buyback, disposal, or donation of the existing table, as the objective is not to maintain two snooker tables in the long term.
· Discussion with the vendor
o The dealer has agreed to assist in selling the existing table and will make efforts to identify a buyer within 90 days.
o Based on their experience and after reviewing the video of our existing table (which is not of a specific branded make), there is no assurance of its resale value. However, they will make every effort to secure the best possible price, which is expected to be around INR 10,000/- or slightly higher, subject to buyer availability.
3. New Pool Table
· Our internal decision
o Procure a new Pool Table for recreational use.
· Discussion with the vendor
o The dealer can supply a 9 ft × 4.5 ft Box Pool Table, which is the preferred choice for clubs and residential societies.
o The quoted price is INR 1.90 Lacs, inclusive of all standard accessories, as detailed in the attached quotation (Refer item #3).
o The Purchase Order for the new Pool Table will be issued only after a buyer for the existing snooker table has been identified.
4. Foosball table
· Our internal decision
o Procure a new Foosball Table for recreational use.
· Discussion with the vendor
o The dealer can supply 3 different types of Foosball tables (the quote with pictures are attached). Knowing our society Item #2 is suggested by the dealer, as a choice. .
o The Purchase Order for the Foos-Pool Table will be issued only after a buyer for the existing snooker table has been identified.
o Based on the earlier dimension-based assessment, the vendor has confirmed that both the new Pool Table (9 ft × 4.5 ft) and the Foosball Table (142.5*75.5*86 cms) can be comfortably accommodated in the existing Snooker Room.
5. Additional Negotiation – Complimentary 18-Month AMC
· We successfully negotiated an 18-month complimentary Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC), which includes three service visits during the AMC period.
· Each service visit will cover:
o Dismantling and reassembly of the table (if required)
o Cushion tightening
o Cloth tightening
o Alignment and levelling corrections
o Rectification of any playing surface misalignment
· An additional benefit under the AMC is that if the cloth requires replacement (typically after about one year of usage), only the cost of the cloth will be chargeable. Labour charges for installation and fitting will be covered under the AMC. However, if any repair requires replacement of materials or spare parts, the material cost will be charged separately.
Evaluation of Equipment
· We inspected the quality of the balls and other accessories (photos attached), and all items met our expectations.
· We also played on one of the dealer's Sharma S1 Premium Championship Tables, and the overall playing experience was satisfactory.
· For the Pool Table, although multiple quality options are available, our assessment is that the Box Pool Table offers the best balance of build quality, durability, and playing experience. Compared with locally manufactured Indian pool tables priced below INR 1 Lacs it provides a significantly superior playing experience and is better suited for club and society usage
Dealer Contact(Card Attached): For your reference, we have attached the dealer's business card. Should anyone have any questions or wish to discuss any aspect directly, please feel free to contact him or route your queries through us.
Three key actions are currently pending:
