Well done to some of our junior section who attended a training course in Cumbernauld last weekend with children from clubs across Scotland. The children trained hard in their groups and showed some impressive skills and focus in a demo. An extra congratulations to Zara who took the Excellence award in the green belt group. Look out for details of the junior national residential course in September coming soon for another great training opportunity!
