New gym prompts timetable revisions

Posted on March 20, 2017 by Web team

Please note the timetable changes which will come into effect once we move into our new gym at Gwernaffield. We will also continue to run some classes from Buckley Leisure Centre – see the timetable.

We have tried to minimise changes to current members but it is our desire to improve and widen training opportunities so we hope parents understand the reason for the revisions.

We will try to facilitate any reasonable requests in relation to training hours. Any questions, contact us.

Meanwhile, there is still more work to do this week at the new gym and we would welcome volunteers to help, even if it was for just an hour- no experience necessary.

Adult gymnastics class – no experience necessary

Posted on March 17, 2017 by Web team

We are planning to run weekly adult classes and would like to gauge the level of interest.

They would run on Wednesdays from 20:00-21:30pm and the class will cost £7, with a free taster session.

Coach Mr Bob said: “It will be an awesome opportunity for anyone who would like to learn some fun and exciting gymnastics skills in a safe, fun and progressive environment.

“It will be suitable for any level of ability and will be amazing for getting in great shape, improving strength and flexibility.”

Army of volunteers needed Saturday and Sunday

Posted on March 11, 2017 by Web team

New gym update: We are now at a stage in the unit where we need of a larger number of volunteers to complete the painting.

A lot of the work has already been achieved by parents who have been volunteering their help on a regular basis. Some of the rooms are smaller, so we were limited to the numbers of workers we could get in each room.

As the contract cleaners have completed the “at height” cleaning in the main gym area, we can now have a larger number of volunteers to continue the painting like yesterday’s successful Day to make a difference.

So, next weekend, we would like to invite as many parents and grown up helpers as possible to complete the painting in the main gym.

We will start on Saturday 18 March at 9am and work until around 4pm. We will continue on Sunday from 10am until we finish.

If you can only spare a few hours, that’s fine. All are welcome, no skills needed – just enthusiasm!

Please bear in mind that this is still a work site and, unfortunately, it is still unsuitable for children.

We do have paint and equipment etc. but, if you wish to bring your own, then please do so.

If you could let us know if you are coming via Facebook, email or the Contact us form, that would be great.

We hope to see you next weekend.
