EVESHAM Gymnastic Club is looking for a new coach to replace Maxcine Durrant, who is stepping down after 26 years in the post.

Gym'll fix it: Maxcine Durrant with Jack Gardner, Emily Rogers, Jenny Ella and Clare Chambers.

Over the years Maxcine has coached hundreds of youngsters from the area and the gymnastics club now has 80 boys and girls aged between three and 16 attending its Wednesday evening meetings, which are held at Evesham High School.

"There are so many youngsters desperate to continue their training it would be a great shame if it folded," she said.

Anyone interested in taking over the running of the club and who has the necessary coaching certificates can contact Maxcine at Evesham High School, where she is a special needs teacher, for a chat on 01386 442060.
