Since its creation in 1977, the Gladstone 8 Ball Association Inc. has been a proud and active part of our region’s sporting community. What began as friendly matches played in local pubs and hotels has grown into a thriving association with a dedicated home and a strong membership base.About Gladstone 8 Ball Association Inc.
Our Mission
Our association is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive and accessible environment for people of all abilities to enjoy and participate in cue sports. We support members and their guests in developing their skills and enjoying the game — whether competing at the highest levels, playing recreationally, or simply having fun. We strive to ensure that everyone, including players with disability or additional needs, feels valued, respected and supported to participate to the fullest extent possible. We pride ourselves on maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere that promotes inclusion, respect, sportsmanship and enjoyment among all players.
Our Journey So Far
- 2015 – We took a major step forward by moving into the Harbour City Motel Conference Room, starting with just three tables.
- April 2018 – We relocated to 36 Hanson Road, expanding to six tables and creating more opportunities for competition and social play.
- 11 June 2025 – We moved into our current home at Unit 3/14 Helen Street, where we now proudly operate with eight high‑quality tables.
Every move has been driven by the same goal: to provide our members with the space, facilities, and environment they deserve.
Competitions & Events
Throughout the season, teams of 4–8 players compete under International Rules across three divisions: A, B, and C Grade. We also run:
