SCHOOLS COMPETITION

A huge thank you to everyone who helped out in whatever capacity on Sunday. It was a real team effort, where everything ran smoothly and as a result we made £113.00 on the raffle and £304.02 on refreshments.

Well done to all the gymnasts, especially Craig Goldring who will be our sole representative at Schools Finals. The competition standard was extremely good and we must remember that we do not have the quantity of gymnasts all attending the same schools that some others do.

Well done gymnasts and a huge thank you to parents

COMMUNITY SESSION / ADDITIONAL TRAINING

We started a Westfield session on Monday this week from 5-7pm which is partially Community, partially Gryphon time. Our gymnasts are more than welcome to come from 5pm, warm up, practice dance, or join in and help community from 5pm, being ready at 6pm to make use of the rig and practice balances and agilities from 6pm.

If any of you know anybody who might be interested in the community sessions, which we hope will be fun sessions with games, balls and hoop work, as well as practicing basic skills and carrying out badge work please let them know - the charge will be £2.50 for the hour. For any Gryphon West gymnasts who wish to join us from 5-7pm the charge will also be £2.50

Anyone wanting more information please talk to Jane, Scott or Richard.

COMMITTEE MEETING

A quick reminder that there is a Committee Meeting this Sunday February 10th at 1pm immediately prior to gym. Remember, all parents are part of this committee so please try to ensure you attend if possible.

SALE RAIL

We have discussed before about the selling on of old outgrown leotards. Starting with this Sunday's session, the rail will be available. Simply bring along your leotard on a hanger, with a ticket with your name and price you would like for it and hopefully they will be purchased by other gymnasts.

PROBLEMS

If anyone ever has any issues, you are always welcome to speak to one of the Coaches. In addition, please remember that if matters cannot be resolved in this way, the Club has two Welfare Officers - Sam Hole (Nick's mum and member of The Gryphon Leisure Centre staff) and Gemma Voysey (as the gymnasts' representative) who will be attending a course next month.
