Chilton Mayor, Cllr Sure Reece takes one on the chin for her fellow councillors.

The funds were presented to Mike Britton, club organiser and instructor, Paul Metcalf.

Paul was accompanied by his wife and son, Samson, who is already a red belt and working towards a black tag.

Samson took the opportunity to try out some of his moves on Chilton Mayor, Cllr Sue Reece who said: “I have no problem taking one on the chin for my fellow councillors!”

The club is open to both adults and children aged 5 and above and runs every Wednesday evening from 6pm at Chilton Academy.

Every year, Chilton councillors forgo the allowance they receive for covering their public duties to put the funds into Community Grants that support local groups to enhance local lives.
