East Midlands success in the British Championships | 29th July 2010 |
Huge congratulations to James Higgins of Northampton on winning his 4th consecutive title in the senior mens event at the British Championships last weekend. Playing safe in the qualification round on Saturday, James opted for 2 simple but brilliantly executed routines to qualify for the top 8 final on the Sunday, which he then won with a final round score of 39.50. His high form scores in the preliminary rounds also earned him the respected Paul Luxon award. James is now working on improving upon his excellent 7th place in last year's world championships.
The Northampton club were also represented on the podium by their emerging star under 15 performer, Kathleen Taylor, who finished 3rd in the Grade C event.
Well done to both performers and to their coaches at NTGA.
Honourable mentions also go to other NTGA members who made it through the qualifying rounds: Penny Mitchell (4th), Amanda Harris (5th) and Kayleigh Haskins (8th) Meanwhile, in the Under 17 Boys Grade C, Matthew Gladders from Aerokinetics had an unexpected but thoroughly deserved win. This too was achieved through extremely good form scores rather than pushing the highest possible tarrif, which bodes well for his future in the higher grades. Congratulations to Matthew and his coaches who are justifiably proud of his consistent achievements this year. Matthew's Peterborough compatriate, Ross Weathrburn managed a creditable 4th place in the Grade C Over 19s, missing a podium place by a mere 0.1 despite a strong 3rd place after the qualifying rounds. Lincoln Imps had their share of success too, with Guy Embrey finishing 3rd in the U17 Nat C, while Henry Gregory finished just outside the medals in the FIG B Under 15s. His score was sufficient however to place him at the top of the UK rankings for his class this year. Also from Lincoln, Matthew Aistrop finished 3rd in the Fig B Over 19s. Finally, well done to Rebecca Broda on her 2nd place in the GMPD Cat 1 National A event. | |

NTGA Juniors in Lazytown | 30th October 2008 |
Lazytown has been such a hit it the UK the show creators approached BBC Scotland to film British children participating in healthy activities. They approached NTGA and auditioned children under the age of eight from the club. Brett Coleman and Abigail Barford were interviewed by Ziggy. Everyone trampolined. The children had a riot filming with the Fantastic crew. They were very funny and we got to show them just how brilliant trampolining is! We hope that you saw the show, however if you missed it we are sure that it will be repeated. http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/Trampolinists-star-in-LazyTown-on.4613066.jp |
