        History

        The Newfoundland Billiards Association was established at some time prior to 1924, which is the date of its earliest extant minutes. The organization existed to facilitate tournaments between billiard players in the various fraternal organizations in St. John's and, when possible, to encourage competition with billiard players from outside of Newfoundland. Member clubs of the Association in the early period included the Masonic, the Star of the Sea, the Knights of Columbus, the Holy Name Society, the BIS, the CEI, the YMCA, the Total Abstinance (TA) Society, the Methodist Guards and the City Club. The Newfoundland Billiards Association seems to have suspended activities at some time subsequent to 1929. In March, 1951 a meeting was held for the purpose of reviving the Newfoundland Billiards Association. Members at that time included the Masonic Club, the Star of the Sea Club, the Firemen, the Knights of Columbus, the CEI and the BIS. The Sports Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador does not hold any records of the Association after 1954.
