Last Sunday saw Inverness Gymnastics Club host their annual Highland Floor and Vault competition with the largest entry to date. Recent support from cdmm (UK) Ltd, NB Civil Engineering and Innes and MacKay Solicitors has allowed the club to grow the capacity of the event and also the visibility of the competition within the Scottish Gymnastics calendar.
