Behold the charming president of ASPA 2024 — an exceptional leader and a wizard on the pool table.💫 You’ll easily notice him everywhere during casual nights, entertaining each table with his skills and knack for conversation. On top of that, he’s known to be an incredible teacher.🙏 Ask the pretty boy for advice and he’d be more than happy to impart the knowledge he has gained from feeding his crippling pool addiction over the years.😌

There’s none more knowledgeable about pool than Jeff - this is his third year on the ASPA team! Aside from his skill on the pool table, he is a fan of all things music and you will probably see him around with his headphones in,🎧but don’t be afraid to say hi! (although fair warning, once you get him started, he won’t stop talking about the cheese sandwich he ate for lunch or the concert he went to last Saturday).🗣️🗣️

Our outgoing secretary who’s always keen for a chat.

Our lovely treasurer and the sweetest person ever! 🥹Gentle and friendly, Vicki brings a certain warmth to every ASPA event she attends. She is in charge of all things money related, and that includes making sure everyone pays what they owe.💸 When she’s not keeping the club from going bankrupt, you may find her at Orange diligently practising pool shots!

Jasmine’s passion for the arts is rivalled only by her fiery love for pool.🔥While she may seem quiet and shy at first, all it takes is a missed simple shot for her true self to emerge.🫢 Jasmine is always keen to help newcomers and shows up to every casual event with a stunning outfit to keep things interesting!

✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩

You may recognize Johnny as the first face you see when you come into casual sessions. But get to know him more and you’ll recognize him as the man who’s always willing to lend a helping hand. 🤲 Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, he’d probably rizz you up in all three languages if he wasn’t an engineer.😔

Favourite food: Wonton noodles

✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩

As the most experienced pool player on our team, Tony proves himself as a fine challenge for the more advanced players in the club 🎱 With a tendency to put all his power and more into every single shot he makes, the cue ball spends more time off the table than on it. ❗️This is your warning to stand away from the table when Tony’s at it❗️
