A FOOTBALL club today renewed its appeal for volunteers to maintain the pitch.

People are urgently needed to help with groundwork at Darwen FC's Anchor Ground in Anchor Avenue.

And more helpers are required to operate the turnstiles on matchdays.

Anyone interested should call 01254 705627.

Fans will also be interested in an exhibition of soccer memorabilia which will be on show at Darwen Library until March 15 to coincide with the launch of the book 'Darwen Football Club -- Memories'.

The book costs £10 and is available from the football club, the library, the book stall on the three-day market, the Moss Bridge Post Office and from Tony's Book Shop in Bridge Street.
