The Billy Aardd's Club (BAC) is a collection of individuals (mostly students at the college) who like to shoot either Carom billiards, Pocket billiards, or Snooker (it is not about fans of the football player Billy Aardd though we may have some among our membership).
Most of our activities take place in the game room at the Student Services Center. The types of tables found in the game room reflect the university's commitment to diversity (students, and visitors, from around the world are often glad to find something other than American pool tables in the way of cue sports). We have a 10' carom table, a 10' snooker table, three 9' pocket tables, and a 7' pocket table. The BAC also provides a place for people to keep their cues (a cabinet having twenty-four individual compartments for cue cases, along with shelves for: balls, books, video tapes, and a VCR).
Major construction of the Student Services Center recently finished and the building opened for use this week (the game room should be open April 20). The BAC helped by providing suggestions for a better billiard room layout.
Some of the club members like to help with the various events the club sponsors. The primary club sponsored event is the Billy Aardd's Club Handicapped 14.1 Continuous Ladder. Other events include at least a couple of tournaments most every semester. Two of the tournaments (Billiard / Snooker / Straight, and Seven / Nine / Eight) are "Plaque Events" (if you end up in the top three players of the tournament your name goes on a plaque kept by the club).
