JKS Nationals Success

On Sunday 1st November we had a fantastic day at the JKS England National championships in Grantham.  Thanks to Paul and Anthony who were coaching with me at the competition and also to Bella who stepped in towards the later stages when she had finished competing.  Steve Clarke was also on duty all day as a referee so a big thank you to him for helping out.  I would also like to say a massive thank you to Jo Wilkes for all her administrative help in getting entries in and keeping everyone updated with important information which she has done all year for the squad.  Finally a huge thank you to all parents, family and friends who made the trip to support our team.

I am proud to announce that we came away with second largest medal haul ever and the most since 2019 with 9 Gold, 6 Silver and 15 Bronze medals.  Congratulations to all medallists:
