Members of Copmanthorpe Bowling Club have received a grant of almost £1,800 from the National Lottery's Awards for All programme.
The grant will allow the club to fund a membership campaign designed to introduce the game to a wider audience and buying a specially designed wheelchair for bowlers who have movement difficulties.
The club, which is backed by York Leisure Office which is run by City of York Council, will throw open its doors in May for locals to try the game for free.
