“The Lyonsdown Club was founded in mid 1895 and is the oldest Snooker & Billiards club in the UK and the World. This small but exclusive club has been continually active since its opening.
The Lyonsdown Club is in New Barnet, Hertfordshire and was originally a stable, the premises formerly being part of Oakwood House Estate.
Without question, we have to say that our club and members are deeply indebted to past members who did so much to forge the development and structure of the club.
Currently, the Lyonsdown Club is in a very healthy position. The Club works very hard to keep an even balance of membership and availability of table time. With this in mind, the membership is monitored regularly by the Management Committee.
First and foremost, to be a member of the Lyonsdown Club, you have to have an interest in snooker or billiards, and play the game. We do not wish to allow membership to anyone who has no interest in the game.”
“Monken Hadley Cricket Club, based in Barnet, Herts, welcomes players of all standards to play friendly cricket matches on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer. Please contact us through the website if you would like to play – regularly or just occasionally!
History
The earliest recorded report of cricket being played on the Common appeared in the Barnet Press and it referred to a game against the Privy Council Office CC on June 14th 1862. It is however probably that cricket was played on the Common earlier than this as the novelist, Anthony Trollop (1815-1882), in his novel “The Bertrams”, which was set in the 1840s made a reference to Cricket on the Common. His mother lived in Hadley and it is therefore quite likely that he drew on real life for inspiration.
The present Monken Hadley Cricket Club, which has its pitch on the grassland at the western end of the Common, was reformed in 1954 and has played continuously since that time.”
