By the way, Sherlock, I expected to see you round last week to consult me over that Manor House case. The Optimists were started at Verdley House. The Optimists produced two plays every year in the Village Hall. One of the Christmases they did a pantomime and they decided to carry on and as the Optimists grew they transferred to the Village Hall and more and more local people came and joined and at one stage they were very proficient actors, they were very good. So there was quite a good relationship between the two troops of Camelsdale and Fernhurst. The late Mr. Hoare, of Bath, a very good Whist player, and without a superior at Piquet, was one of the party, and has more than once told me the story. But say no more than you are told to say, or here came the nervous giggle againyou had better never have been born. Being a successful pool hall businessman can be one of the most difficult jobs when the consequences of making mistakes are considered. Mr Bryn Gravenor, the marker and steward of the hall was among a few members who played Mr Davis. Whist in its infancy was chiefly confined to the servant’s hall.

In the middle of the eighteenth century, Whist was regularly played in fashionable society. The win qualified Mr Gravenor to play in the final stages of the competition which will be held at Borroughes Hall, What is a billiards club London. Mr Gravenor set a record with this win as the previous week he won the Welsh Amateur Billiards Championship at the same venue and thus held the unique distinction of being the only player to complete the double. On Wednesday 21st of April 1937, the Liverpool Echo, one of many newspapers, reported "Amateur’s Remarkable Break", Mr Bryn Gravenor, of Abertillery, the Welsh amateur billiards champion has made the highest reported snooker break by an amateur of 124. Mr Gravenor made the break while playing against Mr J. G. Thomas of Abertillery. On Saturday 2nd of May 1931, Mr Bryn Gravenor won the Junior Amateur Championship of Monmouthshire held at the Lymes Club, Abertillery. The report stated that Mr Bryn Gravenor was also a collier and had been working at the Arrael Griffin Colliery, Six Bells though had finished working there early in 1947 to become a professional player. There is abundant evidence to show that trump is a corruption of the word triumph. Twelve a-piece, and the Trump is the bottom Card.

They're still here in Royal, but for some reason the text for Jack Frost enemies has been fixed to refer to him as "Master Akechi-ho" instead of just Master Akechi. Additionally, some of the unused text relating to the mechanic is changed in Royal for some reason. Like Valentine's Day, you were supposed to receive text messages for White Day to choose your date; Instead, you get a prompt on which date to choose. In order to negotiate with him they have to get an interpreter, and they pitch upon this Mr. Melas, having used some other one before. I think I mentioned in my book, Jack Edwards, he used to get in there. As I say I think billiards was the main game until about probably the fifties and sixties, when snooker tended to take over. It was arranged for Mr Joe Davis to play other local players at billiards and snooker with an audience including - Councillor Mr Ivor Edwards; Mrs Bessie Bishop (Vice-Chairman of the Major Committee); Mrs E. R. Talbot (Secretary of the Women’s Section); Councillor Mrs Florence Brown; Police Supt. The second team were also runner-up in their section.

On Saturday 9th of February 1935, Mr Bryn Gravenor reached the final of the Welsh Amateur Snooker Championship (Western Valley Section) although lost to Mr Ivor Edwards of Powell’s Billiard Hall, Cwm. The Powell’s Tillery Institute team won by 1,925 to 1,857 points. On Saturday 27th of February 1937, Mr Bryn Gravenor won the Welsh Amateur Billiards Championship held at Billiards House, Cardiff. In 1933 Mr Bryn Gravenor featured in the Western Valley Billiards League playing for the Liberal Club, Abertillery. Bryn Gravenor made made a break of 120 and a splendid break of 245 compiled in just 14 minutes. In June 1936 the Leicester Evening Mail reported on a big break recently compiled by Mr Bryn Gravenor of the Liberal Club, Abertillery. In December 1931, Mr Bryn Gravenor featured in the Monmouthshire Club’s Billiards League playing for the Six Bells Workmen’s Club. But when I knew him he was living on his own down The Cylinders, but he was always in the Working Men’s Club. Obviously in those days it was a little bit out of the village, it still is now but I think when I was brought up certainly, the working class families within the village didn’t have cars, so everything was done by either walking or cycling everywhere.
