Petanque is one of the most inclusive activities available where people of all ages, gender, ability and fitness can play equally together.
Award-winning bowler Ian Lichfield, who lives in Crick, runs Ian's Positive Petanque Indoors from the Wellbeing Coffee Lodge.
He told The Gusher: "Indoor petanque is a great way for all to have a gentle activity and meet new friends.
"There's no such thing as disability, only less ability, that's why it's such a great game."

Ian said many people visit the lodge to socialise, have fun and enjoy a chat, coffee and homemade cake.
The game is open to people with COPD, Parkinson's, MS, amputees and wheelchair users.
The next indoor petanque event takes place on September 30 in Crick.
