SOUTH ESSEX’S Head of Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Leah Hickton and her young charge Ellie Petroiu represented the club with aplomb at a European training camp.
The duo flew out to the Union of European Gymnastics event in Tirrenia, Pisa, Italy, from July 7-17, to meet with other coaches and gymnasts and gain valuable experience.

They also got the chance to make new friends with a trip to the beach at the pretty Tuscan parish on the coast of the Ligurian Sea.
Ellie, 10, is one of SEGC’s most promising young gymnasts and was this year named in the Great Britain Development Squad at Level 4.
