Howe Bridge Badminton Club welcomed Julie Hilling MP to their open day to support their club.
The open day, held last Saturday at Howe Bridge Sports Centre, invited local children and their parents to come along and enjoy a few free games of badminton.
Julie met club coaches Chris and Laura who have secured funding of £600 from Wigan Badminton Development Group and £1000 from Wigan Athletic F.C. Community Trust to keep the club running.
