LITTLE Laura Heyes is jumping for joy after being told that she has been accepted as the youngest member of the National British Gymnastics Squad.
The talented nine-year-old from Sutton regularly trains at Broadway Leisure Centre in Eccleston under the supervision of coach Elizabeth Arnold, and she recently travelled down to Bedford where she met the other 17 members of the under-14s squad.
And although the official age range is nine to 14, Laura is the only competitor under the age of 10 in the squad.
