Michael Abraham, Chairman of Broadstone Bowling Club said: "This refurbishment will provide much needed facilities for our members and will now enable us to host people with disabilities including those from Lodge Hill Centre who have enjoyed the opportunity to have a go at the sport. Thanks to Broadstone Middles school who have encouraged the sport within young people we also now have a Junior Bowling Club."

Cllr Graham Wilson, Executive Spokesperson for Community Information and Support Services, said: "It is excellent that these facilities have been improved so that more people in our community can benefit from them. I hope that many more people are now encouraged to take up the sport."

To encourage new members to the club an open day has been organised for Sunday 19 May to enable those who have not played the sport before to come along and try it out.
