Hard work, commitment and dedication were recognised when the Swallows of Helston gymnastics club held its annual presentation ceremony.

Gymnasts who had performed particularly well during the 2007 competition season were rewarded, along with a number of the club's dedicated volunteers.

Senior gymnast Ainsti Hickman-Jones, who has achieved great success with Swallows, was recognised for her outstanding loyalty and commitment. Ainsti, who also coaches younger members of the club, was described as a "true ambassador for the sport and a credit to her family".

Also rewarded for her commitment to Swallows was Vanessa Mitchell, who was named volunteer of the year.

The awards were handed out by well-known Helston couple Roland and Muriel Holton, who founded the club back in 1976.
