News Update - 6th July 2026
Hi there Parents & Gymnasts,
Autumn Term 2026
We are taking reservations for the Autumn Term. Any enquiries, please email us through the address on the links page.
Gym Collect
We are repeating our successful collection service to girls in Reception / Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 at St. Lawrence.
Every Wednesday we collect gymnasts from St. Lawrence at home-time and escort them to the Village Centre next door.
There they have their own snack / drink and prepare for their gymnastics class running from 4 to 5pm.
Parents or carers can then collect their children at 5pm.
Gym Collect fees are £5 a week.
Please email the Club for reservations or with any queries.
Another opportunity to watch your child's gym - September 2026
We are going to perform at Hurst Festival's Super Sunday on the 20th September at 1.30pm. We are encouraging as many gymnasts as possible to perform,
from our pre-schoolers through to our teens. We will practice the display in regular classes. Please book the date and venue - South Avenue Recreation Ground.
Annual Championships, July 2026
Well done all those who participated in our Annual Championships. There were Floor Solos, Sports Acrobatic Pairs and Vaulting competitions.
