Well done to everyone who competed in our Club Competition on Saturday, in our eyes you are all winners and superstars, regardless of whether you brought home a medal or not and we are extremely proud of you all. The standard was exceptionally high in all sessions and it was a joy to watch such beautiful performances throughout.
The competition results are below :-
Gymnasts – thank you sincerely to all the wonderful children who participated in our in-house Club Competition yesterday – what a fantastic day we had, you were simply amazing and the club was awash with talent, hope you enjoyed being in the spotlight – take a bow gymnasts, you thoroughly deserve it!
Unfortunately, a few gymnasts were unable to compete due to illness and injuries, we wish them a speedy recovery and hopefully they can participate the next time.
Parents – you should all be so proud of your children, some performing for the first time in front of an audience, we are extremely proud of each and every one of them and so grateful that you have chosen to be part of our club.
Coaches, Judges and helpers – none of this would have been possible without you, you were incredible from start to finish, it was a very long day over the 3 sessions, with all help reporting for duty before 8am, you gave it everything – well done. Our young helpers are already counting down the days until they can start their own coaching journey!
Committee – thanks to the committee members who were on hand to help out with various tasks throughout the day and especially our Chairperson, Fiona, who delivered some lovely words of appreciation and encouragement, the club is in good hands!
A full list of results will follow during the week, pictures will be available at a later date and we can’t wait to see them.
