AN article in The Press (August 9) referred to a “sport day for York’s over-55s”.

Can I suggest a sport that may not be covered in the sports day would be flat green bowling?

This is a sport that can be played outdoors in summer and indoors in winter, there are plenty of outdoor clubs in York and the surrounding villages and two indoor clubs at Acomb and New Earswick.

It can be played both competitively or socially, it is not over-exerting and most clubs have a social side other than bowling, ideal for both men and women who like regular exercise at a leisurely pace.
