Two leaders of a Burnham-On-Sea gymnastics club have this week been presented with awards to mark their commitment to the group.
Bristol Rugby Club player Lee Robinson presented a special award to Monarch’s Gymnastics Club’s coach Tony Merrett, who has been involved with the group for over 20 years.
He was praised for his “outstanding contribution to school and community gymnastics.”
He told Burnham-On-Sea.com afterwards that he had no idea he was going to receive the award and was “honoured and delighted ” to get it.
Simon Lewis, pictured left, also picked up a volunteer award for his services to the club, having helping the club for the last four years.
Tony praised him, saying: “He’s done so well and fully deserves this, having shown such commitment to the group.”
Two younger club members – Sean McKenna and Jessica Titcombe – also received awards during the presentation at King Alfred Sport Centre for being the best male and female members of the year.
