HESPC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HESPC (the Higher Education Snooker and Pool Council) is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation established to promote cue sports in institutions of higher education in Ireland and Great Britain.
Founded in the early 1990s, it is recognised by the Republic of Ireland Billiards and Snooker Association, the Irish Pool Association and the Colleges and Universities Sports Association of Ireland as the governing body for higher-education cue sports in Ireland. Its wider membership meets during captains' meetings at the two main intervarsity events in snooker and pool each year.
As well as these domestic championships, HESPC organises the annual Higher Education 8Ball Home Internationals for all five home countries and assists with the BUSA Snooker Home Nations Festival (for the four UK teams), which has run alongside HESPC's own Snooker Home Internationals since 1996.
