Programme Overview
Massé Incorporated was founded February 11, 1991 and was originally called the Waikato Snooker and 8 Ball Club. The Club was set up by a group of players who loved to play snooker, billiards and pool. Over the years we have grown from one Club in Hamilton to having four additional branches in Glen Eden, New Lynn, Hawera and Pukekohe. Our membership has also grown from a few dozen members in 1991 to over 13,000 in the past membership year.
The achievements of our members over the years has been phenomenal with numerous club members winning nearly every New Zealand title available; representing the club or New Zealand overseas; playing professionally in the UK; winning numerous world titles across the sports of snooker and pool; and, even playing at the World Snooker Championships at the Crucible in Sheffield, England.
Massé offers a range of facilities and activities for its members including cue sports tournaments, coaching and social functions. Massé is the New Zealand distributor and/or dealer for most of the world’s leading brands in cue sports including Riley, Predator, Valley, OB Cues, BCE, Delta 13, Poison, McDermott, Dynamo and much more.
Massé is also the New Zealand Charter Holder for VNEA Pool Leagues which organises and runs VNEA 8 Ball Senior and Junior Leagues within New Zealand. Massé is also responsible for the selection of the New Zealand Senior and Junior teams that travel to the United States each year to compete in the VNEA World Pool Championships.
In 2017 New Zealand was represented by 31 players at the VNEA Senior and Junior World Pool Champs in the USA; 1 player at the World Under 18 and Under 21 Snooker championships in China; 2 players at the Australian Women's Snooker Championships; 1 player at the United States 8 Ball Open; and 1 player at the World Billiards Championships in the UK!
Our Club provides a safe and welcoming environment for its members across the Waikato, Franklin, Taranaki and Auckland regions. We strive to make Masse Clubs a fun place for our members to achieve the level of skill that they aim for. No matter whether our members play socially or competitively, we endeavour to provide the best possible resources and support.
