A WORLD champion popped into Weaverham Gymnastics Club to coach the village's budding stars.
Beth Tweddle, winner of the Bars title in 2006, visited the community centre to take part in coaching sessions.
At the end of every session she gave them signed autographs and they asked her questions.

The club split the 60 youngsters up into groups and Beth held three sessions, working with the boys and girls on the different apparatus.
Jim Stelfox, club secretary, said the children enjoyed the visit.
He said: "At the end of every session she gave them signed autographs and they asked her questions. She also signed the certificates for the girls and boys who were due them."
The visit was organised and funded by Sport England, as part of their Sporting Champions Initiative.
