GYMNASTICS: Strong Spalding club showing at Roses meet

The girls from Spalding Gymnastics Academy picked up medals across all of the categories as they took part in the national Roses competition at Milton Keynes.

Run by Arabian Gymnastics Club, teams came from all over – including Lancashire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Devon, Buckinghamshire, Essex and Lincolnshire – to take part in the national competition.

The level of competition ranged from recreational to highly skilled, with the gymnasts competing on tumbling, vault, beams, bars and trampette.
This gave all of those competing the chance to try out the moves they work on in training – and the results were impressive.

The popular event attracted in excess of 280 gymnasts and was considered a massive success by those in attendance.

After a long day of competition, the Spalding team were happy to head home to their Cradge Bank base with an impressive haul of medals.
