SIR – As a youngster watching cheerleaders in films I always thought it was just something the Americans did, unaware that one day it would become popular in the UK and I would see a picture in my local paper of a group of girls based at the Richard Dunn Sports Centre, Odsal, who had just claimed seven first places at the ICC Nations Best Cheerleading competition (T&A, September 2).

Panache Cheerschool had won every category they entered, and what is more they had become the first in the country to win as many first places in any single competition.

Their leader, Robyn Morrison, said she was overwhelmed at their success, and I’ll bet many Bradfordians were too. What an achievement!
