The club would also like to congratulate Whitby’s Hollie Belchamber who was recognised for a spirit of gymnastics award.

She was awarded a lovely gift from Michelle at Hertford Gymnastics Club for her brilliant attitude as a reserve and enthusiasm in supporting her team at the championships.

Coach Nikii Walker said: “It was fantastic for all the gymnasts to get a preview of the GB teams in action before they headed off to Portugal to compete in the European Teamgym Championships.

“Congratulations to each and every one of the gymnasts who took part over the weekend. Your hard work, commitment and determination has been amazing.
