THANKS to a grant from Burnham and Highbridge Town Council and the rotary club, Highbridge's Monarch Gymnastics Club has been able to purchase new soft play equipment.

Mandy Warburton from Monarchs said: "The new equipment has already been benefitting the toddlers, pre-school and recreational groups in the club.

"It will help with balance, coordination and motor skills in this younger age group and they are having a lot of fun at the same time.

"We are also offering the new equipment to local people booking birthday parties/family functions at the gym on Sundays."
