Brian Butcher, Chair of the Parish Council enjoyed a wonderful, inspiring day, at Bounceability recently. He attended their annual trampoline competition where those with special needs & disabilities across all ages were showing off their prowess. Brian was pleased to meet 15 year-old Liam, West Bergholt’s volunteer of the year, in his element helping the gymnasts & coaches. Brian was there to present the ‘most improved’ shield, donated by the Parish Council, to its first winner.
