Invitation to see new gym

We would like to invite gym club members and a parent or guardian to visit our new facility at Gwernaffield on Sunday 26 February between 10.30-14:00, but please note the following information.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
The unit is an ongoing work site and there will be volunteers who will be working whilst you are there.

Some of the work will involve painting, joinery and plastering. We have to continue working as we are restricted to weekends due to getting access to the building and the availability of the volunteers.

If you are able to come along with just your gymnast that would be ideal, but if you do have to bring other children then you must ensure their safety.

If you are unable to come along this Sunday, we will try and make other opportunities available.

TRAVEL AND PARKINGGym exterior

The address is Unit A, Pant Y Buarth, Gwernaffield, Mold, Flintshire, CH7 5ER.

Note. Google maps (link here) and sat navs may guide you further up the road so look out for us

It is very straightforward to get there and takes around 15 minutes from Buckley.

Although there is a large car park at the back of the unit, this isn’t ready for use as it needs a clean up.

There is parking on the small access road and in front of units but they are limited and perhaps you could car share if possible.

VOLUNTEERS
Don’t forget we still need more volunteers to help us to prepare the building.

We have a small group of parents who have been working very hard over the last three weeks.

But there are only around 10 of them and, as we get nearer the time to finishing, we will need a lot more.

If you feel you can spare the time to help at the weekends and an occasional day in the week, then please get in touch.

‘Great experience’ at GymFusion

Youth group
Well done to our girls who attended the British Gymnastics GymFusion event on Sunday.

Coaches Ceri and Helen have been working with the youth class for the last few months to perform at the event at The Lowry in Manchester.

In all, 11 girls attended; Megan, Morgan, Jenna, Jess, Maddy Rees and Maddy Morris, Puleng, Asheigh, Milly, Tina, and Katie.

They performed a six minute routine and were joined by 30 other clubs from around the UK.

Coach Helen said: “The girls were fantastic, the venue was amazing, the whole day such a great experience for our fabulous youth class and us coaches. We are so proud of you all. Thank you for a really great gym day.”

New gym Q&A session

We will be holding a parent information session in relation to the new gym this Saturday at Buckley Leisure Centre between 10am-1pm, writes the management committee.

We will answer as many questions as we can but we will not be able to give any details about the new timetable which we are still working on.

If we are unable to answer on the day, we will do our best to answer them as soon as possible.

We have timed this session to make sure we are available to all parents/carers who are dropping off or collecting their children at all classes.

There will be tea and coffee and cakes on sale. (If anyone would like to donate cakes, they will be gratefully received).

Many thanks. We look forward to seeing you there.

Another successful day at grades

UPDATED: Feb 25 – full results are in

Well done to Mia and Ellie who competed in grade 5 at Wrexham on Sunday, writes head coach Ceri.

Some lovely routines and both passed, with Ellie gaining a commendation.

Zara R competed in grade 4 in the afternoon. After keeping her focus over a five-hour competition, she was rewarded with 3rd place on floor and vault and 2nd overall.

Zara will now join Rosie at the Welsh finals in Llanelli next month.

Congratulations to all girls who competed this weekend.

Also, a big thank you to coach Danielle who act as a judge all weekend.
