Sponsored tumble

If you are not already aware we are trying to raise £25,000 to help us move into a new gym so money raised from this year’s sponsored tumble will go towards our fundraising total. The coaching team are very keen to make the move into a new gym with better facilities and more opportunities for all our gymnasts.

The annual sponsored tumble will take place on Saturday May 9th in the main hall. Sponsorship raised should be returned by Saturday May 23rd.

As in previous years we will be having refreshments, Club merchandise and other stalls. If you are able to assist with the running of the day or are able to supply cakes or tombola prizes it would be very much appreciated.

All gymnasts will be given one hour to perform as many tumbles as they can. Gymnasts that raise over £20 will receive a Buckley Gymnastics Club Prize!!

Parents are encouraged to stay and support their child during this event and if you have any other ideas to make this a great day, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Times for the Sponsored Tumble are as follows:

9:30 – 10:45 – Development**

10:30 – 11:45 – PRESCHOOL**

11:30 – 12:45 – PRESCHOOL**

12:30 – 1:45 – INTERMEDIATE

1:30 – 2:45 – Development**

2:45 – 4:00 – Advanced

** Due to high numbers these classes will be split across the 2 time slots. Your class coaches will inform you which slot to attend.

How’s gym helped you?

Message from Fundraising Committee member Rebecca Bailey: I am looking for some personal statements about the club from parents / coaches / sport leaders / ex-gymnasts that you would be happy for me to use in applications for money towards our New Gym Appeal. In particular, I would like to know how you feel the club has benefitted you / your gymnast, not just in the gymnastics sense but wider development.

You can e-mail it to me at: buckleygymfundraisingcommittee@gmail.com

Reminder to all parents

Could all parents please familiarise themselves with the club’s code of conduct and drop their girls in the changing room rather than in reception or the car park, writes welfare officer Alison. 

Parents need to ensure girls are left with a coach.
