The Board of the VBSA wishes to advise members that it has been made aware of a publication in a social media channel yesterday which is a potential breach of the VBSA Rules and the ABSC’s social media Policy and Member Protection Policy. The publication occurred in the context of the Reventon Hat Trick Series and concerns alleged racial vilification. The ABSC’s policies apply to all members of the VBSA.
The VBSA takes matters such as these very seriously and will be appointing a disciplinary sub-committee under Rule 20 of the VBSA Rules to hear the matter and determine what action, if any, to take against the member concerned. In the interim, pending a determination of the matter, the VBSA has suspended its endorsement and support of the Reventon Hat Trick Series

The ABSC is currently updating its Strategic Plan for the period 2024 – 2028, and a vital part of this is to get as much feedback as possible from members of the billiards & snooker community on the issues that are important to them.
A short survey has been developed which focuses on a number of key issues, and which also provides the opportunity for comment on other matters that you would like to raise. The survey is completely anonymous.
Here is an opportunity for your voice to be heard, and the more responses we get, the more accurately the Strategic Plan will reflect the views of our community. So, all members are encouraged to complete the survey, which should only take about 10 minutes of your time.
Click on this LINK to start the survey.
The survey will close at midnight on 17 September 2023.
I am very proud and humbled to announce our team of incredibly talented people are now members of the Board of the state recognised cue sports organisation, the Victorian Billiards & Snooker Association.
Full release should be distributed on all channels by Monday. Details of the new board can be found here https://www.vbsa.org.au/VBSA/vbsa_contact.php
Huge recognition and thanks to all of the outgoing board.
We thank all the members who took the time to come to what I believe was one of the highest attended AGMs ever to support all the nominees. We will work tirelessly to repay that trust and support and grow our sport.
