Bude Nippers recently sent a team of over 40 children to compete at the Cornish championships at Carbis Bay, St Ives.

Held in fantastic weather, and with a total of 530 children taking part, Bude came 10th overall.

There were some really gutsy performances from the children, who competed in events such as swim races, board paddles, and beach events. Praise has to be given to many of them who had never entered a competition before.
