October 2011
 9am !! A nice early start, just what every parent wishes for on a Sunday morning when they have to take their children to the Bonus Arena in sunny Hull. Day started off in a typical fashion- one panel running late, but eventually O15 Grade girls G-E comp started. Grade E were first and out of the 4 gymnasts Ellen Brown prevailed with a qualifying score of 49.3 and a gold medal to take her up to Grade D. Katie Emmett competing in Grade G wasn’t far behind but fortunately even though her 44.3 score wasn’t enough to qualify to F, her silver medal soon cheered her up. Up next was Neave Gorman U15 girls Grade G with a great start including 3 scores of 8.0, which helped her to qualify to F and gave her 10th place out of 51 gymnasts. Amy Noble U15 Grade E finished the morning with an excellent 50.4 Grade D qualifying score and a fantastic 10th place against a very high level group. The afternoon saw the boys taking charge with Jack Mcfarlen in U15 Grade F gaining a score of 48.3 that saw him collect yet another silver medal and a qualifying to E!
U15 Grade G boys did us proud with a gold team medal each and 2 qualifying out of 3. Robert Southby came 6th with 45.3, Zak Anctil came 8th with 45.2 and Owen Davies despite nerves came 11th with 44.1 just 0.9 off qualifying but that won’t stop him next time! Eden Brown U15 girls Grade F finished the day with a nail biting qualifying that had me panicking and attempting to work out tariffs whilst they all kept asking is it above 2???? Fortunately with a tariff of 2.3 Eden zoomed straight to Grade E with a score of 47.1 in 14th place!! Overall a fantastic day which saw 7 out of my 9 gymnasts entered qualifying to their next grade and a total of 6 medals (4 gold, 2 silver) lets hope the next competitions are as successful.
