On the 11th November the Senior Artistic Girls Squad travelled to Basingstoke to take part in the Southern Region Challenge Cup.

All of the girls competed at the same time in two different groups, junior and espoir (in age).  All of the girls competed well.

In the espoir group Jade, Steff, Molly and Amelia represented Milton Keynes and had a tremendous day and it was a good experience for them.  Jade won bronze overall  with 2 other medals as well, we were especially pleased for her on her bar routine as she managed to do her giants which she had been struggling with in the gym.  Steff competed well on all pieces and gained a silver and a bronze medal.  Molly also had a good day with 2 bronze medals, despite having a big fall on the beam and hurting her knee on the vault.  Even though Amelia did not pick up any medals she competed well and the experience of such a high level competition can build confidence to go on to future competitions.

In the Junior Group Natalie Summers represented Milton Keynes, she had a really good day, sticking most of her beam and tumbling well on the floor she managed to gain 5 silver medals.

Great day girls well done we are proud of all of you!!!!
