Local sports clubs and their coaches were brought together for an information evening organised by Oldham Council’s Integrated Youth Service.

Held at the White Hart at Lydgate, the event was the first of its kind and an opportunity for local sports clubs to find out the latest information and support available to their workforce and members.

The evening was co-ordinated by Simon Tait, the council’s club and volunteer development officer. The clubs also provided nominations for the Oldham Sports Awards which will be held on September 23.
