About Gladstone 8 Ball Association Inc.
Since its creation in 1977, the Gladstone 8 Ball Association Inc. has been a proud and active part of our region’s sporting community. What began as friendly matches played in local pubs and hotels has grown into a thriving association with a dedicated home and a strong membership base.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where players of every skill level can enjoy and develop their game. We champion respect, sportsmanship, and strong community values, ensuring our club remains a place for both competitive excellence and social enjoyment.
Our Journey So Far
Our journey has been shaped by the passion and commitment of our members.
- 2015 – We took a major step forward by moving into the Harbour City Motel Conference Room, starting with just three tables.
- April 2018 – We relocated to 36 Hanson Road, expanding to six tables and creating more opportunities for competition and social play.
- 11 June 2025 – We moved into our current home at Unit 3/14 Helen Street, where we now proudly operate with eight high‑quality tables.
Every move has been driven by the same goal: to provide our members with the space, facilities, and environment they deserve.
Competitions & Events
Throughout the season, teams of 4–8 players compete under International Rules across three divisions: A, B, and C Grade. We also run:
- Ranking events
- Club championships
- Social competitions
- Weekend tournaments
During the off‑season, we keep the cues chalked with popular events such as:
- Memorial Crossover Teams – Wednesday nights
- VP Scotch Doubles – Thursday nights
There’s always something happening at the club.
Celebrating Excellence & Supporting Future Talent
Our members have achieved outstanding results over the years, including representation at national events and even the World Championships. Their success shows what dedication, passion, and the right support can achieve.
