Budding gymnasts from South Ayrshire took part in the annual Learn 2 Gymnastics Display recently.

Around 350 young people treated spectators to floor displays, vaulting and balancing at the Citadel in Ayr.

The gymnasts from Mossblown, Coylton, Muirhead, and Whitletts all take part in the Council's Learn 2 Gymnastics programme, which has classes catering for beginners through to pre-competition level gymnasts.

Scottish Gymnastics Proficiency Badges were also presented at the showcase.

Councillor Brian McGinley, economic development, tourism and leisure portfolio holder for the council was on hand to present some of the trophies, badges and certificates.

He commented: "This was a great event and I was really impressed with the routines and the choreographed performances.

"There is no doubt that some of the gymnasts will go on to compete at a very high level.

"For others this was the first time they have performed to an audience and they controlled their nerves marvelously.

"The Council run a number of Learn 2 classes from athletics, diving, football and tennis through to gymnastics, there is something for everyone so why not give it a try, I could be presenting a trophy to you in the future!"

Prizes were also handed out by local Councillors Siobhian Brown and Derek McCabe.
