FOUR amigos from the Richmond area will be able to chat with the locals if they ever take a holiday in Spain.

Harriett Arnott, Grace Howard, Jack Harrild and Lucy Dunn may all be under nine - but were all awarded gold certificates for their fluency in the language over the weekend.

The children are all members of a club which teaches Spanish and French at Richmond Sports Centre and were among 19 others who began their classes in April.

The next course for beginners starts on Saturday. More details are available by telephoning (01325) 718041 after 6pm.
