PUPILS at St Nicholas CE Middle School in Pinvin were treated to a visit from distinguished international judo exponent, Kate Howey.

Kate, who won a gold medal at the World Champion-ships prior to competing in the Syd- ney Olympics, where she won silver in the 70kg class, gave an exciting demonstration of her skills with help from some of the children!

After posing for pictures, it was left to the delighted pupils to throw their weight behind a sponsorship exercise that will raise funds for the school - an event organised by Super Schools.
