COMMUNITY SESSION / ADDITIONAL TRAINING

Terrie has not renewed her membership as a Gryphon Coach so gymnasts do need to be aware that if they still train with her, Gryphon's BGA membership will not cover them for Insurance.

As a result, to ensure that the clubs future is protected and further to several recent enquires, we are taking on the Westfield slot on a Monday night, starting Monday Feb 4^th during school term time. We intend to run a community session from 5-6pm. And then additional training time for Gryphon gymnasts from 6-7pm.

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.

LONDON FESTIVAL

We have been invited back to the London Festival of Gymnastics for 2008, which will take place in October. We have accepted and the intention is to take any gymnast who wishes to take part. There will be a notice of interest out soon and we'll be collecting payments over the coming months to help spread the cost, which will be in the region of £80. Please give it some thought.
