Pegasus gymnast Euan Cox has earned his first international call-up.
Cox, pictured, will represent Great Britain at the Rheintal Cup in Switzerland next month after winning the under-12 category at the English Championships in Crayford last weekend.
The Ashford youngster won parallel bars and high bar and finished third on pommel to take the overall title and £100 prize money.
Pegasus head of kindergym Jennie Trandaburu said: "Euan was over the moon to be picked for Great Britain. His strongest apparatus is the high bar but he’s a real all-rounder."
In the same age group, Reece Shephard finished fourth on vault on 17th overall while Finlay Lincoln was 27th overall.
James Hall and Courtney Tulloch competed for the first time as seniors. Hall took bronze on floor, pommel, rings and vault and was fourth on high bar to finish overall third. Tulloch won gold on rings and bronze on parallel bars to finish fourth overall.
