A Kerikeri school has come to the rescue of a gymnastics club which had just weeks to find new premises or leave up to 200 disappointed young gymnasts unable to train.
Kerikeri Gymnastics Club was based in the old Placemakers building in the town's industrial area, paying minimal rent on the understanding it would have to move out if the building was sold or a commercial tenant was found.

That lasted for 10 years but last month the club was finally given notice, prompting an SOS for temporary premises while the club continues fundraising for a building of its own.
Club president Janet McLea said Kerikeri Primary School had come to the rescue, offering the use of its hall on Hone Heke Rd until the end of the year.
