I have been twirling now for over 23 years and thoroughly enjoy training and competitions. I am also a teacher, Penalties & Inspection Judge and now, Contest Secretary.

I enjoy my role as Contest Secretary as you’re never quite sure what questions or challenges each day will bring.

As an IBTA Officer, I will endeavour to support the IBTA and its athletes, and always do my best.

Fleur Loveys-Painter
General Secretary

I have been a twirler now for 20 years within the IBTA, which I have enjoyed and found very rewarding. I also helped train Illusion, choreographing solo’s and team routines before the corps disbanded.

I am new to the role of General Secretary, but I am enjoying the challenge of the day-to day requests and getting to know my fellow officers.

I aim to ensure that the general office will run smoothly for the IBTA and its members.
