GYMNASTS were celebrating after achieving a national award for their club.
The Epping Forest Gymnasts, who practise at North Weald Airfield, were presented with a Gym Mark last month.
The award is given to clubs who have gone through a rigorous inspection by British Gymnastics.
Administrator for the club Coz Yates said: “We were presented with a plaque and it proves to our members and parents that we have the safest environment possible.
"We are very proud to have achieved this.”
The club has 130 members ranging from two-years-old up to teenagers.
Mrs Yates said: “We take children from recreation right up to competition and have grown in success over the years.
"We were so pleased to have been given this award as it proves that we have an extremely safe gym club for all our members.”
