ONE of the leading gymnastic teams in Europe will be giving displays at this year's Royston May Fayre on Monday.

The Kangaroos display team has appeared at Wembley Stadium before the FA Cup Final, at the Grand National and at the Battle of the Flowers event in Guernsey.

It has appeared, too, at the Birmingham International Tattoo and the Manchester Tattoo.

One of its most prestigious appearances was at VE Day anniversary events in Hyde Park

The team - which was set up in 1981 - will be performing twice in the main arena in the Priory Memorial Gardens.

First will be a display of gymnastics during which more than 250 somersaults are performed, and then in a comedy display.
