The Moorings restaurant leapt on the snooker craze in the early 1980s with its own club.
The Largs 'A' and 'B' snooker teams who played in the Moorings Leisure Centre are picture in 1983. World snooker celebrity Tony Meo opened the snooker facility in 1981 at a time when the sport gripped the nation on tv with up to 20 million viewers watching the finals.
The Moorings Snooker Club ladies were also well dressed as the female staff had been wearing tartan following a recent call by the tourist association to promote a Scottish atmosphere or visitors.
The Moorings building was knocked down in the late 1980s but snooker enthusiasts continued to play at the Stevenson Institute in Lade Street, and then Potters Bar.
