Sunday snooker club in Bognor closes due to dwindling membership
Gavin Stephens, 18, is determined to chalk up on the pier once again, having been inspired to take up the sport by the world's finest players four years ago.
"I was watching the Masters on TV and really wanted to get into snooker," he said.

With coach Frank Sandell at the helm, Gavin, along with friends Luke Stevens and Ashley Graham, became a regular break-builder.
But when Mr Sandell was no longer able to run sessions at the pier, numbers dropped and sessions were forced to stop.
"It's a real shame we can't play any more as it was a good social occasion," said Gavin.
