This year's Championships included Floor Solos, Vault and Acrobatic Pairs competitions. The competitions were free and were open to any Year 3 and above boys or girls who wished to take part.

Congratulations to all those who took part, particularly Madeleine Madgwick - who won the Junior Overall Chapionship, Rosie Zeidler who won the Senior Overall Championship and David Cobbett who won the Boys title.
The 2009 Championships will be on the 30th June (Boys) and 4th July (Girls).
