Through its community support scheme, Mansfield Building Society donated £800 to Mansfield Bowling Club, on Chesterfield Road South.

Carol Dallison, from the scheme, was invited to the opening of the club’s green, where club member Trevor Barnes christened new steps which ease access to the green and were provided by the club.

Margaret Tye, club president, said: “The £800 donation will enable safe access onto the green for all the members, especially our older and less agile members.
