Another Trampoline Competition, this time the South East Regional Closed, took place this weekend at Jumpers Rebound Centre in Gillingham. A rather depleted Springers squad of 11 took part along with 280 other competitors representing 14 clubs. Considering the size of the squad, it was quite a successful meeting. The club had 3 trophy-winners this time. In her first competition, Laura Billings won the U18 girls Grade 6 section, while Kathryn Hall took 2^nd place in the U18 Girls Grade 4 and Megan Comber was 3^rd in the U11 Girls Grade 4 section.

There were near misses for Louise Miles, also in her first competition for the club, who was 4^th at U13 Girls Grade 6 and Hannah Thomas who also came 4^th, in the U9 Girls Grade 5. Also competing were Lauren Ward, the other first-timer, who was 5^th in the U11 Girls Grade 6 section, Jasmine Broadley, 14^th in the U13 Girls Grade 5, Stephanie Paul and Amelia Russell, 8^th and 10^th in the U15 Girls Grade 5, Stephanie Combe, 7^th in the U18 Girls Grade 5 and Maddy Heath who was 7^th in the U9 Girls Grade 5.

This competition included all levels from Grade 6 up to Grade 1 competitors so it was a good chance for the Springers to see how far they need to progress to reach National standard. Some of the Trampolining on display was quite breathtaking. Hopefully it will inspire the Springers to great things, rather than scaring them off completely!!
