About
Chalk up your cue and step up to the table — every Wednesday night at the Yallourn North Hotel, a $70 minimum jackpot is on the line and all it takes is $5 and a bit of nerve to be in with a shot.
The Wednesday Night Pool Competition is a weekly amateur event hosted at the Yallourn North Hotel, the local gathering spot where the community comes together for a relaxed but competitive evening of pool. With a winner-takes-all jackpot and six free pots on offer for second place, there's genuine incentive to bring your best game — or at least your best game after a cold beer.
Players rock up from 6:30pm and cues start cracking at 7:00pm sharp. Entry is just $5, and the format is built for locals of all abilities — no professionals, no pressure, just the satisfying click of ball on ball, a few near-misses, and plenty of "should've sunk that" moments shared among mates.
Events like this sit at the heart of what makes Yallourn North tick — a real local pub, a midweek reason to get out of the house, and a chance to build the kind of easy camaraderie that only comes from a well-contested frame of pool. The hotel's tagline says it best: where the locals meet.
Head to the Yallourn North Hotel from 6:30pm any Wednesday to join in. Check the hotel's Facebook page for jackpot updates and to see whether this week is your week.
