A STATE-OF-THE-ART trampoline club will be officially opened next week.

A former angling shop, in London Road, Wickford, has been transformed into the Ultima Trampoline Club - complete with a viewing area, classroom, and a warm-up area.

The training academy has six professional trampolines.

The club was granted planning permission by Basildon Council in December 2015.

Essex County Council chairman John Aldridge will be guest of honour at the grand opening, taking place on Saturday, December 10.
