Medals haul for gym girls
NINE young gymnasts from Beccles Royales Gymnastics Club went to Ipswich to take part in the Suffolk Kit-e-Kat competition to compete with four other clubs – and they came home with one gold and three silver medals.
In Level One in the youngest age group for five to six-year-olds, tiny Charlotte Warnes put on a sparkling performance and won the silver medal with a score of 49.5, the highest score in the whole Beccles team.
In Level one, age six to seven, Amie Seaman managed a good fourth place while Isabelle Brown made a big improvement in her score from her last competition.
Katie Yallop in the seven to eight age group at Level One gave a very tidy performance and took the silver medal.
In Level Two, eight to nine age group, Emily Chalk took the fifth place with a score of 44.0.
