(Photograph) - Sure Start Paignton in Devon was boxing clever when it invited Karen Ousey, the Thai boxing ladies world champion who is a local resident, to launch the Sure Start programme from Foxhole Primary School. More than 30 children, from babies in buggies to four-year-olds, were entertained by a magic show and balloon modelling by Cosmo the clown (left). Sure Start project manager Jayne Birbeck (right) described the day as 'a wonderful opportunity' to meet local parents and children and to introduce its new services to them. Photo Colin Higgs
