First Aid Team 25

We said a fond farewell to Vyniha who is off to University at the end of September.  Vyniha has been with the club since 2018, first as a gymnast, then as a volunteer, and latterly as one of our Gymnastic Helpers. We wish her all the very best and look forward to Vyniha visiting us and letting us know how she is getting on.

Congratulations Hannah on your wonderful performance again on Saturday night on the BBC The Greatest Dancer and getting through to next weeks show.  We will be watching and voting again for you this Saturday!

A great time was had by all at the annual Christmas Parties.  We had seven parties in total this year!  Santa visited and there was lots of fun and games including bouncy castles, trampolines and “how to make a snowman”!  We raised £120 in the raffle, with the proceeds going towards a piece of equipment in memory of Zareeyah.  1st Prize (the hamper) was won by Edith,  2nd Price (course fees paid for half a term) was won by Grace and 3rd Prize (a beautiful hand made cupcake bouquet, kindly donated by one of the mums) was won by Sarah.

We raised £266 on the cake stall and the proceeds will go to Trinity Hospice, in memory of Mick Lacey.  Thank you to the volunteers for helping with the cake stall and also to YOU the members for your cake donations, we had quite a few boxes of cakes left over so we donated to the local Food Bank in Tooting!

Tickets go on sale at the Christmas Parties!

Hannah visited the Club on Friday 30 September and spent over 3 hours working with a number of enthusiastic gymnasts from our Rec 1, 2 and 3 classes. With the “Country and Western” theme of our upcoming display in mind, the gymnasts were particularly excited to learn a few “tricks” with the rope from Hannah!  She also wowed gymnasts and parents alike with a beautiful and expressive combined freehand and ball routine, showcasing her incredible flexibility and dance skills as well as her command of the apparatus.  A great time was had by all and we look forward to Hannah’s next visit and continue to support her in her journey and dream of reaching the Olympics in 2020.

Another great day for Alfie and Freddy Tolcher at the GfA Floor and Vault competition on Saturday 25 June 2016.
