    QBSA History

    A History of Billiards and Snooker In particular of the QBSA Inc and its forerunners Sections 1 and 2 FROM BRITISH SETTLEMENT, THROUGH FEDERATION (1901), TO WORLD WAR 2 There was little interest in Billiards at all until the discovery of gold in Australia. Snooker had not yet been invented. After WW1 Snooker was rarely played and seen largely as an amusement. Few tables existed and only in the homes of the wealthy and the residences of the senior government officials, much as in the British Isles. The cost of tables was, of course, extremely prohibitive. The 150 pound purchase price represented approximately 75 weeks of average earnings for other than the wealthy and would represent a cost of some $60,000 in $2016 Au. (ABS Average weekly Income Ref 6302.0) With the gold rush (circa 1850’s) the game of Billiards arrived with some force over Australia, as well as the gambling derivatives such as the various forms of “pin” pool. These required a licence, as for public bagatelle tables. Bagatelle was a Billiard oriented, cloth covered table, of varying sizes (up to about 3 metres). These used small balls to be struck into holes guarded by pins and other obstacles. The holes had different values to compose a winning score for money. The owners and staff (“markers”) were deemed to be professionals. P This remained so until the 1960’s when our QBSA was the then Qld Amateur Billiards and Snooker Assn. and prior to, The Amateur Billiards Assn. or ABAQ, but more of that later.
