Community spirit gymnastic display

Youngsters from Helenswood school near the Conquest Hospital charmed residents, staff and visitors with their skills and provided the focus for a community get-together.

The group is called Acromax and comprises gymnasts aged five years upwards.

Organiser Georgina Ballard commented: "The gymnastic display was very well received and the residents enjoyed it '“ they thought it was absolutely wonderful. The costumes were lovely and it was really nice '“ they were very good.

"We invited people from round the area to come in and watch '“ it's about a sense of community spirit really."

There was also a table sale at Grosvenor Park with representatives from the local branch of RSPCA, Bluebell Ridge cat rescue, British Red Cross, and Cancer Research UK which is currently fundraising in support of breast cancer awareness.
