Six gymnasts from Bath will be showing off their skills on national TV this weekend.

The group from the Bath Rhythmic Gymnastics club will be performing live on BBC1 at the National Lottery Awards on Saturday.

The annual search to find the country's favourite Lottery-funded projects will be part of a programme fronted by John Barrowman, at 7.40pm.

The gymnasts – Helen Christie, 15, from Bristol; Annabelle Bartlett, 15, from Bath; Lynne Hutchinson, 15, from Bath; Sarah Dennis, 13, from Bath; Hannah Waite, 13, from Bristol and 18-year-old Francesca Fox from Trowbridge – are among a number of groups showing off skills developed using Lottery grants.

The club was set up 10 years ago, and more than 30 gymnasts regularly attend, ranging from beginners to those competing at an international level.

Francesca, a member for eight years, and Lynne have both benefited from a Lottery-funded scheme which identifies and nurtures young talented gymnasts and develops them for national and international competition.

Francesca, who has represented Britain at European and world championships, said: "It's so exciting to think that we will be performing on national television at the awards. To be representing my club on BBC1 is a great honour and I can't wait to show what we can do."

Club head coach Sarah Binding said she was delighted at the members' appearance: "We can't wait to showcase the work of Bath Rhythmic Gymnasts at this year's event."

Also part in the performance will be fencers, drummers, aerial performers and dancers.

Now in their seventh year, the awards recognise the difference that Lottery-funded projects make to local communities, and celebrate the achievements of the people behind them.
