Spectacular Training
The club weathered the storm Ciara last weekend, with wind tearing off the main sign and the gym almost being flooded. Many thanks to the parents and coaches who were instrumental in stopping a potential disaster.
British Gymnastics Award Scheme
At the end of 2019 we introduced the BG award scheme to General Classes. This has proved to be a huge success with all passing their first award and receiving the new badges and certificates. Next award scheme will be week 7 of the first course in 2020.
2019-2020 British Gymnastic Membership and Insurance
