Young gymnasts at a go-ahead club have been enjoying great success.

The Gym Centre/Cheltenham School of Gymnastics, and its satellite club held at the Cotswold School in Bourton-on-the-Water, has seen a wave of success in recent months.

The club, which is run by ex-Cotswold School pupils Martin and Kerwen, has triumphed in a series of regional and local gymnastics competitions and gradings.

It began when 22 gymnasts from the clubs entered the South West Club and Regional Gradings at Bristol Gymnastics Club.

Through the gymnasts’ unwavering dedication and the continual support and training from their coaches, they came away with some highly commendable, well-deserved results consisting of two passes, 16 commended and four distinctions.

Among those who took part in the grades were four gymnasts from the Bourton Gymnastics classes, who also train alongside their teammates at The Gym Centre Gymnastics Club, based at GL1 Leisure Centre, Gloucester.

Jessica Havill entered the club grade 5 grading and came away with a commended while Sophie Havill entered the same grading and came away with the top grade of distinction.
