THE ups and downs of the world of trampolining will be showcased at an event this weekend.

The Hambleton Gliders Trampoline Club, which meets at the Hambleton Leisure Centre in Northallerton each week, is presenting a free show next Saturday, from 2pm.

It will feature members aged four to 17.

One of the coaches, Melanie Richards, said: "Each year, we get them together and give them a theme. The theme this year is synchronised balancing, so they have to mirror each other. One might be doing a forward somersault, so the other will do a backward somersault."

The trampolinists will also use ribbons and music to add impact. The presentation will be followed by a roller-disco and raffle.
