A massive thanks to all the gymnasts and parents, who regardless of the glorious weather, walked the two and a half miles to take part in this year’s Stockport Carnival. If that wasn’t hot enough they then showed Woodbank Park how fabulous we are by performing individual and group displays. As always we have a fantastic, supportive group of parent’s and coaches who make days like today possible.
Dear parents,
Please be advised that all updates will now be put on the website. This will be done to the earliest convenience of our coaches. Most of our coaches are volunteers and after a long days work spend 3 hours coaching your children as well as 1-2 hours preparing programmes, routines, music, admin, letters, carnivals, bag packing, extension work etc. Volunteers give up their valuable time to develop your child in the gym To the best of their ability they provide information to help you to support your child. As we are only human sometimes we make errors. The time we spend in the gym is valuable to develop new skills and consolidate old skills in preparation for competitions and displays. Many parents are fully supportive and appreciative of all our volunteers do. Many volunteers coach up to 18 hours per week, alongside full time jobs and families. Coaches develop a relationship with the gymnasts and want to commit to that time and take pride in their achievements. However, constant criticism from other parents and lack of support make this job difficult. We do not want our volunteers to give up as this would effect your child’s development in the gym. Please feel free to volunteer your services to help with the administration and support us by reading, returning letters and respecting training times. There are many parents’ who do this and as always we are grateful.
Thank you so much to everyone who came and helped bag pack today. We wouldn’t have our amazing foam pits so quickly if it wasn’t for your continued support. We raised an amazing £940!
Many, many thanks to the parents and gymnasts who came to help finish the first phase of our extension. Thanks to the following families; Kitchens, Fards, Baker-Masters, Darbys, Owens, Wildes, Forshaws, Spahos, Greaves-Braynes, Roylances, Murphys, Hancock children and Davies. A tremendous days work. We had a productive day: removing the wall, moving tumble track, vault, floor and adding a new beam area.
Painting tomorrow. Will be in the gym from 11 a.m.

Our first ever fayre was held today. What an amazing, successful day it was! A big heartfelt thank you to everyone who organised the day, came to help, to watch and support our gymnasts and the club. Pictures to follow soon…..

A day of backfilling and new bars!
Main pit finished today! Many thanks to the volunteers today. Gillian, Dawn, Steve, Martin, Donna and of course Dave and Gary were amazing helping to move blocks, mix concrete, move more dirt and many other vital jobs. Well done Hayden too!
