Welcome to Aber Pool!

Who We Are

Whether you're looking for a club to have fun and banter with, or if you're looking to play competitively (or even both!) – we're definitely the club you'll want to join!

We're a club for players of any ability – everyone and anyone is welcome to join us and have a good time! Training will be available for anyone who wants to improve, or if you simply just want a few casual games as we provide weekly drop-in sessions.

We are a friendly bunch so feel free to drop by for a taster session any time throughout the year!

Competitions

AUPC in recent times has been an extremely successful competitive club, and offers various opportunities for players of different abilities:

The Aberystwyth Pool League, which takes place every Tuesday against pubs from around the town. The league is split into several divisions, providing opportunities to players of all abilities.

Varsity, which is an annual tournament held against Bangor University. We have managed to win 3 years in succession - come and help us make it a fourth!

The British Regions Tournament was an exciting addition to the Aber Pool calendar in 2022, and returns in mid-November (Our President & Captain, Dan, is the Regional Director of Wales & the Southwest - ask him directly for any details, but failing that, details will also be released on our social media pages as they get announced). The BRT Finals Trophy event was won by Wales & the Southwest in 2025 - a team consisting of four AUPC members and alumni.

The main event for student pool is BUCS. This is a national team and singles competition held every year against other universities from across the UK. Aber Pool has triumphed twice in the past few years, with the men winning the shield in 2020, and the women winning the championship in 2022. Notable performances also include Olly Bridle and Dan Evans reaching the last 16 of the Championship Individuals event in 2024 and 2026 respectively, as well as Bayanda Vundamina reaching the last 16 of the Trophy Individuals event in 2025.

Finally, Home Internationals is another tournament which has recently returned to the calendar following its previous running before COVID-19. This competition, pitting the UK nations against one another, is of the highest standard in University Pool, and is difficult to qualify for. It is ideal for advanced players who want to test their mettle. AUPC were represented by 6 members at the 2025 Home Internationals tournament, and by 8 members at the 2026 event, wherein the Men's team secured silver medals as Runners Up!

All updates regarding competitions will be posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages, so keep your eyes peeled!
