Students have been putting their decorating skills into action, helping to renovate Norden Cricket Club changing rooms and shower area.

The Hopwood Hall College painting and decorating students were approached by the Lancashire Cricket Board, who had identified a number of cricket clubs in the area which were in need of a bit of updating.

Jumping at the chance to put their decorating talent to good use, the students first paid a visit to see what needed to be done, before getting stuck into the work.

Rob Wilson, Hopwood Hall College lecturer, said: “All the students really enjoyed working on the projects. It gave them real work experience and allowed them to put into practice what they had learned in the College workshops. They really took pride in their work.”
