Many of the club’s squad made their competitive debuts at the National Moo Moo Invitational Championships, held in Milton Keynes, which attracted more than 350 gymnasts.

Gym club coach Sammi Emsley said: “I would like to thank first the gymnasts for listening and trying so hard – we are all super proud of the children.

“Also to the coaches Helen Farrant and Emma Randall who helped teach and prepare, and also Alan Armitage and his team for providing an amazing opportunity for these young gymnasts; the day was absolutely fantastic.

“And I’d also like to thank the parents for supporting the club and giving us coaches the opportunities to teach their children.”
