YOUNG People from Pendle are invited to take part in a sport more associated with their grandparents -- crown green bowling.

The event takes place at Alkincoats Park, Colne, on Wednesday, March 23, and Wednesday, March 30, from 10am to noon and will feature experienced bowlers who will help with coaching.

It is open to under-16s only and everyone who takes part will get a free one season pass to play bowls at Alkincoats Park.

Joe Cooney, Pendle Councils Outdoor Sports and Recreation Officer said: "This is part of a long term plan to get young people more involved in their parks."
