On Wednesday 9th July, Councillor Facey, Mayor of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge and his Consort were delighted to visit Monarchs Gymnastics Club in Highbridge to celebrate the positive impact of recent grant funding.
The £500 grant awarded by Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Town Council was a great help towards the cost of the coach to transport them to their competition in Germany, giving the 20 gymnasts who attended the chance to travel, represent their club and gain valuable competition experience.
During their visit, they were treated to two full displays and Councillor Facey said “We were highly impressed by the quality of the gymnastics and the talent, dedication and camaraderie of the gymnasts, who were given a well-deserved two-minute round of applause in appreciation”.
