A WOMBWELL bowls club is hoping to score some younger members.
Club secretary of the Mitchell and Darfield Bowls Club, Gordon Jinks, 78, said the club used to have more than thirty members 15 years ago, but that number has since halved.
Gordon said: "Some young people can't play football if they have had an illness or are just not interested. Bowls keeps people fit.
"I had a triple heart bypass in 2007 and I'm still bowling. Our youngest member at the moment is 21, and he started when he was 11 or 12."
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."
