COVID cases amongst volunteers have forced the cancellation of a Halesowen youth club.

The Halesowen North youth club, which meets at Coombswood Sports and Social Club in Stewarts Road, only launched on Monday September 13.

It was cancelled last week due to cases of coronavirus amongst volunteers with yesterday's (October 4) session also scrapped.

Organiser councillor Stuart Henley, who has been suffering with covid himself, said on social media: "Youth club will be closed again due to covid.

"All members will have membership rolled over to cover the two weeks closed.

"Sorry, all back fit next week."

The club is open for eight to 11-year-olds and runs on Mondays from 6pm until 7.30pm.
