Bangor Gymnastics Club’s Macaya Alsop created a little piece of history when she walked out to compete in the Women’s Aspire competition at the recent 2023 Artistic British Championships in Liverpool.
In doing so, the 12-year-old became the first women’s artistic gymnast from the Bangor club to compete at the British Championships.
Macaya’s coach Ellie Hill said: “It was such a fantastic experience and, at such a young age to be the first from the club, we couldn’t be more proud.
“We look forward to many more following in Macaya’s footsteps.”
Bangor Gymnastics Club was founded in 1981, and moved into its new fully equipped facility in Llandygai Industrial Estate in March 2017.
The club currently offers a wide range of gymnastic activities for infants, children, young people and adults of all abilities and is affiliated to British Gymnastics and Welsh Gymnastics.
