A BOWLING club is providing a free taster course for the over-50s, supported by Age UK Blackburn with Darwen.

From Friday, May 1, Lower Darwen Bowling Club in Higher Croft Road will offer the sessions each Friday from 10am to noon for 12 weeks.

An Age UK spokeswoman said: “Why not come along, learn a new skill and have fun too?”

Places are available on a first come, first served basis. To book a place, contact Alison Hartley at Age UK on 01254 266620.
