Olympic Gymnastics, London 2012
We have just enjoyed two more fantastic days with our top 100 gymnasts.
We were fortunate enough to take our oldest gymnasts to the Olympic Qualifying
gymnastics competitions in the O2 arena on the 16th & 17th January.
We had the best seats in the arena and watched the best of the world compete
for their Olympic places.
We look forward with anticipation to putting some of the highlights learned
into routines for our Arts Competition on the 24th March.
Our sincere commiserations go to the British team, who missed out on
places at London 2012 by less than three tenths of a mark, just a couple
of errors from achieving their dream.
Rhythmic Coaching
In encouraging our Arts competition on the 24th March, all juniors and
seniors are going to receive some expert rhythmic gymnastic coaching from
national level gymnasts and coach from the I-Star club.
There will be no additional charge for these sessions which will be at the
gymnasts usual session times on the 1st & 2nd, 8th & 9th February.
The sessions will be for the 5 & 6pm groups on Wednesdays and the 5pm, 6pm &
7pm groups on Thursdays.
Vacancies for Spring Term 2012
The term is running from Tuesday 3rd January to Friday 30th March.
As of the 17th January we have a few vacancies in each of the Thursday groups
for girls, and for a few Pre-school boys on a Friday at 1 or 1.30pm.
Sorry but there are short waiting lists for school age boys, for Wednesday girls
and for Pre-school (not yet full time Reception) girls.
If you are interested in your child joining please let us know so that
we can contact you if further vacancies arise.
12th Arts Festival Competition -

with extra voluntary practices on the 2nd, 9th and 16th March.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported all of the participating groups.

How good was that ?
Front places at St.Paul's Cathedral with Stephen Fry, free programmes,
excellent service in Pizza Hut, brilliant fun in Trafalgar Square,
sympathy & understanding at the Cenotaph,
rounded off with the Lord Mayor's Fireworks on the Thames.
Add excellent behaviour all day, very kind weather and superb parent help.
