HORIZON Taekwondo Academy have opened a new venue in Keighley.

They did used to train out of Dalton Mills, until that was gutted by fire in March.

That meant a temporary move to Springfield Mills, but now they have opened a new venue.

That is at Unit 4, Forward Mill, Goulbourne Street, Keighley BD21 1PG.

MP for Keighley and Ilkley, Robbie Moore, and Olympic medallist and taekwondo world champion Sarah Stevenson MBE went down to open the centre officially over the weekend.

Three of the Keighley academy's brightest young talents, Sam Taylor, Muhammad "Hadi" Ejaz and Gina Bene-Hamill, will be competing at the Cadet World Championships in Bulgaria at the end of this month.
