us competition success. The recent LTSI Inter Club Invitational at St Albans proved that we can look forward to a bright future, the competition was attended by only eight GTS students partly due to the fact that Mr Nicholas Gardner and Mr Adam Gardner where away competing in the World Championships in Australia, so Mr Alan Lloyd jumped in at the deep end to arrange the transport etc and coaching on the day all on his shoulders and they all managed a remarkable job. GTS students walked away with a medal tally of 1 Gold , 3 Silver and 4 Bronzes a truly excellent performance as apart from the four Green Belts in attendance, Reegan Mathews, Nathan Whiteman, Mark Peachey and Ben Baddeley the rest were participating in what would be only their first or second competition, the experience will be invaluable in the future so well done to all who made the trip.
