A THEALE teenager became the youngster-ever speaker at Pangbourne Rotary Club last week.
Megan Lockley, 14, addressed the members about her life as an aspiring Taekwondo champion, explaining the complexities of the sport and the hard work, dedication and expense involved.
She has been selected to participate in the Taekwondo ITF World Cup next month in Kopa, Slovenia, where she will be competing against 56 athletes from 21 different countries across the globe.
Members appreciated Megan’s accomplished talk and asked many questions, although for some reason they seemed reluctant to participate in a demonstration.
In the picture, President Saerah Hopley is presenting a cheque to Megan to help fund her trip to Slovenia.
Megan and her father Jon were very appreciative of the donation.

A spokesperson for the club said: “We wish Megan good luck in the future including competitions in Holland in May 2023 and the ITF World Championships in Finland in September 2023.”
