The future of a Banbury gymnastics club is secure after a summer of uncertainty.

The Wade Gym Club, lappealed for new premises earlier this year after its long-term home, Drayton School, became unavailable.

Banbury vet, Clive Madeiros, father of club member Naomi, came to the rescue by offering Eden Hall Barn, near Little Bourton, to the club.

Cherwell District Council agreed to a change of use application for the building, and the young gymnasts moved in last week.

Club secretary Paula Robinson said: "This is a dream come true.

"One of the club's goals has been to get a place of its own where the gym equipment doesn't have to be set out each afternoon and packed away every night."
