A BARNSLEY man hopes to rekindle Barnsley's love of a game that has all but died out in modern times.
Eric Richardson, of Claycliffe Road, Barugh Green, wants to get nippers playing nipsy - otherwise known as miner's golf.
Eric, who now works as a guide at the National Coal Mining Museum, said: "There was a time when every village had a nipsy team."I played it as a lad but was never good enough to play it competitively."
There will be open day at Dodworth Miners' Welfare Club at 11am on Saturday August 29.
