We have had more sporting success recently with Grace McDermott (S2, Lewis) becoming Scottish Champion in her category in Acro Gymnastics. Well done and good luck to Grace and her partner Summer at the British in May.
It was also sporting success for Eva Bremner (S2, Lewis) who won several awards in Dance at the Scottish Freestyle championships. Eva took silver for solo, bronze for rock n’ roll, bronze for “boogey wooogey” and her team took overall 1st too. Congratulations to Eva!
