Snooker a success at Thornhill Manor
Competitive snooker has become so popular in the village that A and B teams had to be established for the inter-village competitions that get the blood flowing and the banter going.
One of the most popular activities at Rand Aid’s Thornhill Manor Retirement Village is the opportunity to talk and chalk while racking it and cracking it.

Home games and practice sessions are held in the village’s snooker room, which was added to the community hall when it was renovated in 2018.
One of the village’s most enthusiastic players is Rudi Waage, who practises each and every day.
Rudi said since going on retirement, snooker has filled his days with passion and camaraderie as he tests his skill against fellow residents and other retirement village teams.
Wooden shelves line a wall of Thornhill Manor’s snooker room and hold a number of trophies that were awarded to the village’s team, and an individual award to Rudi for player of the year.
