The borough's new mayor has been running hoops at Bury Croquet Club as part of his first official engagement in the role.
Cllr. Khalid Hussain went along to the club's ground on Whitehead Park with mayoress Carol Bernstein and was welcomed by chairman Roy Spencer.
They went along on Saturday, May 25, which celebrated the club's open day celebrating National Croquet Week.
The mayor and mayoress chatted with visitors and club members before trying their hand at running hoops - which they thoroughly enjoyed.
Other visitors included ward councillors Dene Vernon, Jackie Harris and Shahbaz Arif along with councillors from neighbouring wards and Bury North MP James Daly.
