Also recently, at the Artistic British Championships in Liverpool, Dynamic Gymnastics had Kennedi Foster finish 10th overall, while Ellie Patrick was 15th overall in her first senior competition.
Dynamic Gymnastics are always looking for sponsorship for their talented gymnasts – Courtney Dunbar is sponsored by Penny Cars in Airdrie – and they can be emailed at enquiries@dynamicgymnastics.co.uk
