Buckley Gymnastics Club

Some advanced class girls attended a ‘run’ through competition on Friday at Deeside Leisure Centre before heading to Cardiff in a few weeks’ time for the real deal.

They competed in both compulsory and national level grades against girls from around the north area.

Macey and Mia entered national grade 4 with Megan and Zara entering national 3.

We also had Abi, Amelia and Bella competing at national grade 1. And Aiyla competed in the compulsory level 4 competition.
