Gymnasts from a Colwyn Bay club are preparing to who off their talents on an international stage for the first time ever.

Grays Gymnastics Club is sending a team of 15 to the Malta Gymstars International competition, which will run from June 30 to July 1.

This will be the first time the club has ever attended an international event and head coach Hannah Rushton said everyone was looking forward to taking part in the competition.

She said: “It’s a great opportunity for the girls to compete abroad and compete alongside clubs from as far as South Africa.

“We are all really excited and are looking forward to the experience.”

The club is looking for sponsors to help the team get to the event and any businesses interested can email graysgym@btinternet.com.

The club will also be doing a sponsored five mile walk on Saturday to raise funds for the trip.
