A huge well done to all our competitors who came to Jersey 2015 and a special thank you to our hosts Jersey who put on an excellent Games.

The Inter Games gymnastics competition held on home soil – in Holyhead Leisure Centre – was also a huge success and showcased what Anglesey can offer going forward in plans to host the main Games in 2025!
