About us
Massé is New Zealand’s premier cue sports club.
Originally called the Waikato Snooker and 8 Ball Club, Massé was founded in 1992 by a group of players passionate about snooker, billiards and pool. Fast forward to today, and Massé has grown from dozens of members in 1992 to more than 15,000, with branches of the clu in Hamilton, Hawera, Glen Eden, New Lynn and Pukekohe.
The name Massé comes from the name of a particular cue stroke, which is done by hitting the cue ball off centre with the cue held nearly vertically, causing the ball to move in a curve around another ball before hitting the object ball. Ironically, we don’t allow massé shots in our clubs due to the damage it can cause to the table cloths!
We pride ourselves on being welcoming to players of all ages and fostering an inclusive atmosphere. As the New Zealand charter holder for VNEA (Valley National 8-Ball League Association) Pool Leagues we oversee the VNEA 8-Ball Leagues within New Zealand. We’re also responsible for the selection of the New Zealand senior and junior teams that compete in the VNEA World Pool Championships in the US each year.
Our Constitution
Massé is an incorporated society registered under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908. This means we are a legal entity that is bound by the rules and regulations associated with being an incorporated society. One of these is that our club must have a constitution which governs the way in which it operates and outlines the processes it must follow. From time to time the constitution is updated to reflect changes within the club or other factors such as updated legislation. Read our most updated version of the constitution here.
