Rushmoor Rosebowl International Competition 20th and 21st October, 2007.

The English Association (EGA) entered a Junior and Senior England team at the above event. Although the invitation to take part was received very close to the event, thanks to the outstanding efforts of Mike Swallow (EGA Technical Co- Coordinator), Len Arnold (Team Manager), Joan Jackman (EGA Board) and Sarah Calvert (England WA Champs Manager), the EGA were able to enter good teams.

Teams were selected from the results of the Women’s English Championships on the 7th October, 2007 and did not include any gymnasts, who are currently members of the GB World Class Squads.

The teams performed extremely well and with pride in representing England. The gymnasts were very well supported by their Team and Personal Coaches and very enthusiastic audience.

The event was the first International that England have entered since the new English Association was formed 2 years ago and all concerned thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to further events in the future.
