As promised to keep everyone in the
Loop, Peter Chegwidden’s funeral
Is on Tuesday 30th November, 2pm at Illogan church.

12/11/2021

Good afternoon everyone, it is with great sadness that we have to today announce that our club, league and general gentleman stalwart Peter Chegwidden has passed away. He passed away yesterday and although unexpectedly he was peaceful and at home.

Peter has been not only a member, League player, team captain, committee member, club secretary and many more things over the decades to the snooker club and leagues that he has been involved with. But most importantly he has been one of our closest and most respected friends. And most of us also look at him like a family member as he has always been there and for everyone through different generations through the clubs history.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest thoughts and sympathies to Peters family and that we will continue to support and help them in any way we can as long as they want us to.

As a Mark of respect the club will be closed to all members this weekend.

Anyone who was close to, knew of or has even just had the pleasure of meeting and being in Peters presence know what a genuine, caring, loyal and honest person he was who lived life to the fullest until his final moments.

He continued with all his activities until his final time even with playing snooker only this Tuesday 9/11/21, where although he lost he continued battling to the very end. Still a very good snooker player at 93 and often still beating those he shouldn’t at this age and taking the mickey out of them when doing so! I’m sure we have all heard the line ‘ beaten by a 93 year old’ with a chuckle then ‘better keep practising’

Peter will sorely be missed by many many people as he has so many friends and has been involved wholeheartedly with so many things throughout his life away from the snooker club such as, Illogan parish church, Penwartha, multiple snooker leagues and other competitions, as well as being a local to the village of Illogan for all of his life.

Peter always gave everything to everyone and would always support, advise and help others and we as club members know how many people he has inspired and will continue to do so through his memory.

I’m sure everyone will be sharing stories jokes and yarns about Peter and the times we have all enjoyed with him, the humour, the competitiveness, the organisation, his honesty in the form of bluntness, when needed to be, but always followed by a chuckle and smile. But most importantly the time and compassion he had for everyone and anyone. Always willing to listen and just be there for people no matter the day or time.

Peter always made time and gave opportunities, support and help to others often without consideration for himself or the effects to him to see others happy. Peter was also often known for helping people without even realising it by something he said, a joke he made or by showing someone something they didn’t know or understand. Again this was not just through snooker but the number of people he has helped over the years in helping find loved ones in Illogan church graveyard or helping with general church running and most importantly to Peter his family.

Peter you will always be missed but you will certainly never be forgotten, your legacy will go on. Within the club, the league and through your family. Your achievements of being what we understand as the mining and godolphin leagues oldest player at 93.

your nomination for local hero of the year in 2019 which was sadly scuppered by covid.

And especially your interview with Cornwall live after you turned 90 and the article of ‘Cornwalls potting Pensioner’ will live long in the memory and shared with those who haven’t had the chance to know you.

everyone else who has had the pleasure to know and spend time with you will remember you with fondness and smiles whether they remember you as the organised, determined, loyal individual who loved sorting money and chasing people when they owed you even 20p!or the cheeky, belly laughing, sighing when someone gets luck against you and chuckling when you get lucky against them. Peter you were all of these and so much more to us all.

A person who made an impact to so many who met you in a positive way.

You truly were a wonderful friend to us all no matter our age, background or anything else you treated everybody with the respect and humility A gentleman in the truest sense of the word.

A scholar and gentleman to the end. Rest in peace Peter Chegwidden 11/11/2021 The club will not be the same without you.

08/08/2021

Just to let everyone know as of Tuesday the club will be open all day usual opening hours Tuesday to Friday. We still need to ensure safety so when players have finished playing, all cleaning guidelines currently in place must be adhered to. Anyone failing to do this will be spoken to by the committee.

Please also remember to keep others safe and if both tables are in use then please return at another time and don’t put others at risk.

23/05/2021

Good evening everyone we hope your all well and keeping safe! Great news we will be opening the club as of this week! The club will be open under the same rules as between the previous lockdowns. This means it will be on a first come first served booking system either booking by phone or message. We will continue to need at least 24 hours notice of booking to ensure we can organise someone to unlock and lock up around your booking.

Each member will be required to sign a contract to say that you will clean up after yourselves and take responsibility for your actions and failure to follow COVID safe guidelines will lead to members being suspended from the club.

The club will be open Tuesday-Friday weekly as before and full COVID cleaning and government guidance remain in place and all members are expected to follow this.

We welcome you all back and new members are welcome to join.

Kind regards

The committee.

Hi everyone what a year this is! Hectic, chaotic and never know what’s going to happen next. Following the government ruling to introduce a new month long lockdown we have sought information and discussed as a committee to see whether we can keep the club open during this time but sadly we are unable to. Therefore as of tomorrow the club will be closed until the 2nd of December inline with government guidelines. However as soon as we are able to open or give further information we will endeavour to keep you all in the loop. Take care and we will see you all again very soon.

19/10/2020

The club is now open!!

Following the recent closure, due to people not following the recent covid-19 Hygiene guidance, we have now decided as a committee to reopen the club to members from tomorrow.

The club is open from Tuesdays - Friday. It will be closed over the weekend for deep cleaning. However, this will still be based on a booking system and members are required to book through a committee member and give at least 24 hour notice! During this period no guests or non-members.

Members wanting to play in the club will be expected to follow the guidelines and take responsibility of ensuring guidance is followed. Members will be required to sign an agreement regarding this. Refusal or failure to sign the agreement, will result in members not being allowed into the club.

Members failing to follow guidance and rules for cleaning tables / club will risk having their membership suspended for the foreseeable future. This will be on a three strike basis and at the discretion of the committee and evidence (CCTV).

All members will be expected to clean:
• Table rails
• Extensions and equipment
• Clean all balls and place them back into the box
• Scoreboard
• Light switches
• Spray any seats that have been sat on/ touched with anti-bacterial spray
• All members sanitise hands coming in and out of the club

Thank you for your cooperation and patience during this difficult time. Let’s all work together to keep everyone safe!

22/08/2020

Hi everyone,

It is with great regret that following reviewing of the CCTV that we as a committee have taken the difficult decision to close the club temporarily. This takes place with immediate effect due to members failure to follow the government advised guidance for health and safety around COVID 19. Which puts the club at huge risk of a large financial fine and risk of illness to our members, of which we have many classed as high risk due to age or underlying health issues.

We will therefore not be taking any table bookings or allowing anyone access to the club until further notice.

We would also like to say it’s sad times as Raymond and Hazel who were the club cleaners and active playing members and who have been part of the club for many many years, have decided to hand their club keys back due to their own health issues and trying to stay safe during the current pandemic. Therefore please can we ask that members leave them to remain safe and as healthy as possible and not to go to them to try to gain access to the club.

Take care everyone.
