September ’09 - July 2010
Well what a busy year we have had, Jasmine passed her level 1 Tumbling coach Award, Joss passed her level 3 General Gymnastics award, and I passed the level 2 Tumbling award and have now completed 2 of the 4 modules for level 3 Tumbling. Four of the helpers – Charlotte Martin, Abby Cheetham, Frankie Harling and Jack McGill attended the “Young Helpers Award”.  We had Jack Driscoll, Katie Arnold and Jazz representing their respective schools for the South West Schools Tumbling Competition at Sherbourne.  We competed at the DSYGA Regional Tumbling at Hamworthy in January. The boys represented us at the friendly Wessex comp, at Blandford, with Aiden Wallen-France getting a bronze medal and Ben Butler getting silver. We also had a record 30 gymnasts take part in the Spring Challenge which is also held at Blandford, where Alex Hutchinson, Aiden Harford and Katie Nicholls all picked up silver medals.  Well done to all the gymnasts that took part in the competitions.  I will try to put all the results onto our website over the holiday.

My young helper coaches have organised the inter-club competition on the 23rd July, we have 40 gymnasts taking part, and I am sure they will enjoy the experience. Good luck to all.

I am afraid that I must have a little moan; we have had parents calling over the children and coaching them from the side line, please do not do this as it interrupts the class.  All my coaches are qualified and insured to coach. If parents would like to help in the sessions, they are more than welcome, but must be insured with BG and have enhanced CRB checks.

Please let me know if your child does not want their place next term.
Have a great summer,

At the moment all gymnasts should pay the £15.00 fee.

If we do decide to enter competitions again, we will need help from parents. When a club enters we have to provide a judge (usually Jocelyn. or myself), a coach to stay with the gymnasts, and a helper. The helpers’ role could be on the door, making teas and coffees for the judges, score keeping, music etc., and must stay until the end of the competition.  If we do not provide a helper we cannot enter, this is up to you, the parents.
