BRACE those biceps! South Dorset MP Jim Knight got a little help from pupils Darren Barwick and Michael Setterfield during a tour of Budmouth Technology College in Weymouth.

The MP had to flex his muscles when he was shown weight training equipment in the site's new £1.25 million sports hall complex.

Budmouth spokesman Andy Blackwood said: "Mr Knight had been invited to Budmouth by Darren and Michael as part of the Asdan youth award scheme which they are taking in their final two years at Budmouth.

"He saw a unit for children with Asbergers Syndrome which affects a child's learning and social skills and he also watched lessons in design technology, art and dance and drama.

"He was then interviewed by Darren and Michael and Mr Knight told them a bit about being an MP and how much he had enjoyed his tour of Budmouth."
