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).
