A BARNSLEY man hopes to rekindle Barnsley's love of a game that has all but died out in modern times.
Eric Richardson, of Claycliffe Road, Barugh Green, wants to get nippers playing nipsy - otherwise known as miner's golf.
Eric, who now works as a guide at the National Coal Mining Museum, said: "There was a time when every village had a nipsy team."I played it as a lad but was never good enough to play it competitively."
There will be open day at Dodworth Miners' Welfare Club at 11am on Saturday August 29.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated August 21. **
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
