TAKING part in the British Veterans Gymnastics Championships at Leicester, Karen Forbes returned to Kestrel Gymnastics Club as 50+ British Champion. 

She started off with a good vault followed by routines on A-bars and beam, and finished her competition with a very graceful floor routine and excellent tumbles. 

Coach Shirley Lazère-Bennett added that Karen (pictured) was "determined to come back with gold this year after taking silver last year, and it was fantastic for her to achieve her goal."
