Buckley Gymnastics Club

Families were quite surprised to find our family quiz night at Penyffordd and Penymynydd British Legion was a University Challenge-style contest instead of your average pub quiz.

Becca organised us into teams; under 8s, 8-16, parents and grandparents.

We all gave ourselves team names. Quiz host for the night was Steve, with a mix of age appropriate questions.

Well done to our winners, The Happy Donuts, in the eight-16 category. Our runners-up were an under 8 team, Gym Friends.

Following the quiz, the girls finished the night with a dance off, of course.

Thank you to Becca and Steve for organising a brilliant night and to everyone for coming.

Gym club parent Kristy Messham has volunteered as a new welfare officer. Her daughter, Erin, is in the development class. Here, she explains a little more about herself.

I have always loved gymnastics as a sport and found myself wanting to become more involved when Erin started gym.

I work for the NSPCC in the Schools Service; working with children in primary schools to educate them about keeping themselves safe.

Safeguarding is something I am passionate about and I believe that it is really important that children know that they have somewhere to turn if they have problems or worries.

The role of welfare officer seemed like a great way to put this into practice and to also be involved in a sport that I really enjoy.
