Village Pool League

Village Pool League The Village Pool League (VPL) is a not-for-profit 8-ball league in the Church-Wellesley neighbourhood, home to the gay and le***an community of Toronto.

The league consists of varying levels of participation with full, part-time, and "floating spare" players all totalling about 65 members. A volunteer Executive Committee meets as required to manage the VPL. MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN TO ANYONE. We welcome players of all skill levels; although winning your game is an important objective, good sportsmanship and having some fun while doing it is an equally i

mportant focus of the league. At the end of regular season play the teams are split into divisions according to their ranking at that time. A final round of play against each team in the division determines the division champion for the regular season. Then a playoff round takes place for one last chance to clinch the division title for the year. Prior to the start of the regular season, the league holds a welcoming tournament at Pegasus on Church Street. Another holiday party is held during the Christmas/New Year break. The year is capped off with a final banquet where trophies are awarded and people have an opportunity to share some memories over a good meal. As well, the banquet provides an opportunity for us to raise some money for a local charity. If this sounds like fun to you, check out our membership page and contact us for further information.

Hi everyone, we just wanted to remind you that Tuesday will be our potluck/ holiday party. We will have some fun games, prizes and some great eats for you to enjoy. So far we have members bringing baked goods, cookies, wings, spring rolls, hush puppies, quiche, cheese and meat tray etc. A real smorgasbord.

Feel free to bring what you like, but please remember we can't bring our own beverages into Pegasus.

Here are the stats from last week.

See you Tuesday.

Your EC, Ron, Greg, Steven and Haylen

Hope to see you all out tomorrow night and on April 22nd!

Greetings! Welcome to the last part of our schedule....8 more weeks! (6 more weeks for each team.......sounds like groundhog day!)
A couple of things to note:
Just wanted to announce drink specials that Pegasus will provide us:
20 ounce house lager (Flying Horse and Dark Horse): $8
$4 yagermiester (I know i’m spelling that wrong...too tired to spell check...lol)
And a reminder that it’s top shelf Tuesdays so drink up! (responsibly of course) 😀
We thought we’d bring back theme nights....since we’re back to really mild weather (and doesn’t look or feel like winter), let’s dress like it’s tropical (Hawaiin shirt, etc.)
