THE HSBC Sports and Social Club in Beckenham was the scene of youthful exuberance when 150 sporting youngsters attended a special awards ceremony.

The two, three and four-year-olds from across the borough had taken part in sports days, organised by children's sports club Microsport, at Petts Wood and Beckenham earlier this month.

The budding sports stars of the future visited the Beckenham club to receive their medals after taking part in events including athletics, football and hockey.

The club has been in operation since 1994, giving young children their first taste of sport.

Organiser Jane Waters said: “We had an absolutely wonderful time and 16 youngsters received medals. But everyone was happy because they all went away with something to celebrate their achievement.”

The club is held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during school term at Crofton Halls, York Rise, Orpington, and HSBC Sports Centre, Lennard Road, Beckenham.
