Not only do the Gosport club have national champions in a number of competitions but they have also been informed that four of the gymnasts will be moving up a level.

With this in mind, Eleanor Meachen and Lucie Emmett both competed in RAC for 2016.

But due to their outstanding performances and scores they will be competing in NAC this year.

Lucie will be in the national development age category and Eleanor will be in the group one age category.
