Half-term fun - 6th - 9th June

First Gala of 2012 at Hatfield

All five of those travelling to Hatfield for this gala had cause for nerves, with Lauren & Lucy never having competed at National level before, Chrissie & Susanna venturing into FIG B for the first time, Kensie having hurt her foot the previous day and Josh determined to get back to FIG B. In the event there was at least cause for future confidence with either medals, qualification to finals or good experience to take away with them. To find out more about the results and how Kensie managed with (as was found out after the event) a broken bone in her foot, read the full competition report at http://brentwoodtc.org/hatfield_28-29jan12.htm.

Brentwood Grading H-D, 22nd January 2012

With 45 competing once again we had the largest contingent in the grading competition.  The day saw many competing at a new grade for the first time and so expectations were cautiously optimistic in the most part:

PB Challenge 2012

Members waiting for results of PB Challenge

Saturday afternoon saw our first PB Challenge competition take place. We wanted a competition that was fun for everybody to take part in and we certainly achieved this with a great atmosphere.  Nearly 30 competed, with most taking part in the 'handicap' section of the competition where their scores were adjusted relative to their personal bests.  For a fuller report and individual results check our website at http://www.brentwoodtc.org/brentwood_07jan12.htm.
