STEAM
RALLY
Many thanks to everyone who
helped in any way over the weekend, both up at the showground and out at
the Gryphon Leisure Centre loading and unloading. The weather was
relatively kind to us, and the whole event did seem a great success and
enjoyable. It gave us loads of practice and everyone seemed to have fun.
Thank you again to
everybody who helped and well done to all the gymnasts.

MAY CAMP
AT GRYPHON
On Saturday 31st
May we are intending to camp over in tents at the Gryphon Leisure Centre,
have a BBQ, drinks, games and generally have a fun evening, and be ready
to do gym again on the Sunday. We hope as many of you will be able to join
in as possible. More details will follow.

LONDON
FESTIVAL (10-12th OCT)
We have had a tremendous
response for this; over 35 gymnasts going!! Wow! I have now booked the
room at the hotel (Travelodge - Harlow North Weald) so if any parents want
to book in feel free. We are also in the process of sorting transport
which, like last year, will be by using school minibuses and a couple of
cars.
It won't be confirmed until
June but we expect to be doing a 4 minute routine on the Friday evening
(same one as last year adapted to include extra numbers) and an 8 minute
routine on Sunday morning. The theme will be Halloween and I'm sorting
music out at the moment.
We intend to use all the
competition leotards for Friday night and Halloween theme dress for
Sunday. Start thinking now; remember it needs to be practical to do gym
in. So don't throw out and old black, white or red clothes as I'm sure
we'll be able to use them, and if you can come up with a costume for your
child, this'll keep the costs down for the club.
Again, Friday night will
include the gala evening followed by a firework display. On Saturday
evening, we'll avoid the BBQ this year(!) and get pizzas etc instead and
there will also be a disco.
For anyone wishing to
spread the cost, we are happy to start taking in the money now. Simply
give monies to Jane or Anne in an envelope labeled 'London Festival' with
your child's name.

This Sunday, Craig &
Amy, Owen & Jordan and Ben & Jack are taking part in the Prep A/B
Finals in Southampton. Next weekend on the Floor, James & Craig, Nick
& Sarah B, Nick & Sarah S and Nick & Nick will be joined in

DORSET
& WILTS COMPETITION
Dorset & Wilts
Competition is to be held on Sunday 29th June in Poole. I intend to use
this competition for experience, for newer partnerships and lower level
competitors. It is for Floor Prep A - Grade 2 only and Nat. 1-4 Level
Tumbling.
Some gymnasts may be
entered into this instead of going to Yate, and some may use it as
experience for going to Yate. A lot of this will depend on how things
progress between now and the beginning of June.
If you are not available
for any of the dates of the competitions, please can you let Jane know as
soon possible.
SCHOOLS
FINALS
And finally, well done to
Craig Goldring who went to Stoke-on-Trent tumbling in the Schools Finals
and came 3rd winning a Bronze medal - a real achievement! |
