Young helpers… Hollie, Lily, Jess, Megan and Emma

Buckley Girls’ Gymnastics Club relies on its volunteers and among those are the young leaders.

These are gymnasts past and present who give up some of their time to support the development of our members.

They take part in a course which equips them with the skills to help gymnasts in their training.

The courses are run at the club over six hours, teaching basic coaching skills and health and safety awareness involving equipment as well as the safety of gymnasts.

Current qualified young leaders include Hollie, Jess, Megan, Lily and Maddie all aged between 13 and 16.

Thanks to everyone who donated cakes and the parents who staffed the stall.

Watch out for the chance to buy more cakes as it is due to become a regular feature as it is proving popular.
