MY FATHER, Edward Robshaw, was a member of HC & AC Bowling Club and for many years I spent my childhood playing around bowling greens in the summer and watching rugby in the winter. He played with the Yorkshire County Amateur Bowling Association for many years. They won the Crosfield Cup in 1949 and one of my treasured possessions is a small cup he was presented with.

It is very sad people can no longer enjoy the wonderful facilities at Fartown, especially as children are now being encouraged to exercise.
