VOLUNTEERS in Whittington have been bowled over by a grant to help fund new equipment.

The HS2 Community Fund has handed over more than £16,000 to Whittington Bowling Club.

The money was used to purchase new specialist groundskeeping equipment to keep the surface in perfect condition for local players.

A spokesperson said:

> “The bowling green in Whittington is a hive of activity every morning as a small, dedicated team carefully maintain the close-cropped grass.  
>  
> “But over the last couple of seasons, they have been fighting a losing battle to maintain and repair the specialist equipment used.  
>  
> “However, thanks to the generosity of this grant from the HS2 Community Fund, the club now has two beautiful new machines – an aerator and lawnmower.  
>  
> “The arrival of the new machines will be welcomed by all members and visiting teams who will be able to play on a top class surface this summer.”
