ANDERIDA<br />
Preparations for<br />
the forthcoming<br />

Anderida cricket<br />
club are well<br />
underway, including<br />
their weekly indoor<br />
nets sessions.<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> will continue their preparation<br />
outdoors with a pre-season friendly<br />

FURTHER<br />
TRAMPOLINING<br />
SUCCESS<br />
There were more<br />
outstanding<br />
performances<br />
on the national<br />
stage from our<br />
local trampoline<br />
gymnasts who<br />
train at the Sky<br />
High Trampoline<br />
Gymnastic Academy, based at the<br />
Funabounds Centre in <strong>Uckfield</strong>.<br />
A team from the Sky High Club<br />
represented their schools in the<br />
British Schools Championships held in<br />
Birmingham last month and brought<br />
home an array of medals.<br />
Ryden Temple, representing <strong>Uckfield</strong><br />
College, won gold, as did Charlotte<br />
Wainford from Vinehall School. Daniel<br />
Bradford from Lewes Old Grammar<br />
School and Millie Dadswell from<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> College both won silver<br />
medals. And there were bronze medals<br />
for Sam Plummer from East Hoathly<br />
Primary and Heidi Crowther from<br />
Sackwell College.<br />
Many congratulations to all our young<br />
local gymnasts who competed at these<br />
Championships, and well done too to<br />
all of the coaching staff at the Sky High<br />
Academy.<br />
