An open day for players of the popular table football game Subbuteo will take place at a hotel in Morecambe on New Year's Eve.
The Morecambe Bay Subbuteo Club is inviting people of all ages to either come and play or spectate at their event at the Strathmore Hotel on Marine Road on December 31 from 10am to 2pm.
The table football game, played on a mini-pitch where players 'flick to kick' figurines of footballers, has been popular for decades with people playing for fun or in leagues all around the world.
Subbuteo was created by Peter Adolph in 1946 and the first set contained goals made of wire with paper nets, a ball and cardboard playing figures on bases made from buttons weighed down with lead washers.
These initial figures were made from flat cardboard but in the 1960s were replaced by the classic 3D hand-painted plastic footballer figures.
