Tumbling News

We are pleased to officially announce that Greg Boosey has been selected to represent Great Britain at the SENIOR World Championships next month.

This is a fantastic achievement for both Greg and Richmond, we should all be very proud of him.

Further congratulations go to Heather Cowell who won the Gold medal at the Yorkshire open on 30^th September. She won the competition with two new tumbles, which she will be using at the World Championships. The competition in her age group it has to be said is getting stronger by the day. This means that there isn’t just the threat from the Russians and Americans but also from the British team.
