MALVERN Hills Gymnastics Club held its annual club competition and open day.

Thirty gymnasts took part and performed routines on each piece - vault, bars, beam and floor, as well as being tested on their flexibility and conditioning.

The overall winners at each level were: Grade six Victoria Jones, grade five Charlotte Lewis, grade four Lydia Burgess, grade three Angharad Wintle, grade one Hayley Smith and voluntaries Sylvia Moeskops.

The range and conditioning shield was won by Lian Young, the best improved cup was won by Marie Pugh, the mayor's cup was won by Laura Morton and Victoria Jones received the cup for best effort in training.

The gymnasts will repeat their routines in the West Midlands regional grades competitions in the spring.

Head coach Brian Barson congratulated all the gymnasts on their achievements, despite the fact that their training hours had been cut by half.

He said: "Everyone involved in the club is making huge efforts to raise money for our own gymnasium at the moment.

"A big thank you must go to everyone who helped to raise £253 on Sunday towards our dream."
