Thanks to everyone who has helped us to make a great start to our £50,000 appeal to improve and extend facilities at our Gwernaffield gym.

So far, we held our Festival of Gymnastics, hosted a Halloween party and collected a van full of second hand clothes.

Our totalizer currently stands at £5,800 and we have yet to collect all the sponsor money from our 50 Miles in 50 Days campaign.

We know some gymnasts and families have managed to raise an impressive amount. We really appreciate all your efforts!

New sport leaders

Lucy, Lucy, Evie & Sophie

Well done and welcome to our newly qualified sport leaders.

Lucy, Sophie, Lucy and Evie have been helping out in gym classes for a while and took the plunge and completed the Welsh Gymnastics Sport Leader course.

The online section took place on Thursday which they all passed to go on to the practical work on Sunday.

Sport leaders are valuable members of the coaching team, supporting coaches and can run warm ups, cool downs and basic strength and flexibility in class. They are also role models for the younger gymnasts.

Many of our sport leaders go on to complete the Women’s Artistic Level 1 Coaching award and become fully qualified coaches.

Well done to all the girls.

Well done to them all.
