What do you think of this cossie club-cue sports merger?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A hugely popular cue-sports club has joined forces with Hamilton’s struggling Cosmopolitan Club in a move both say will secure their futures for years to come.

After surviving a long-running public stoush with adult entertainer and mayoral candidate Lisa Lewis, and “a major cash flow crisis” earlier this year, the Hamilton Cosmopolitan Club has joined forces with Massé Hamilton. Its members voted to support a merger at a meeting held on the weekend.
