Planning Permission

Great news this week. We have just heard that we have been given full planning permission for our new gymnastics centre which we hope to build in the grounds of Rye Hills Specialist Sports College. This is a major step forward in our project, and one which has taken a lot of hard work.  The club would like to thank all of those who have supported us this far, including the Rotary Club, who began it all, Roger Hansom and his team from Hansom Architects who have done all of the design work ably supported by Greg Sills of Scurator, Parsec Green Energy, the Head and Governors of Rye Hills, the many Councillors and officials of Redcar and Cleveland Council, and all of those who have contributed financially.  We are currently working on a detailed business plan and looking at funding sources, and in order for our plan to succeed and bring a world class facility to Redcar we need the support of everyone in the area.  If you feel you can help us please contact us and get involved.

Other good news this week has been further success for the club at the annual NEGA awards ceremony.  The club was awarded the Women's Technical Committee club of the year which is a great honour for us and reflects the hard work of all of our coaches.  Individual awards for services to gymnastics were awarded to Coaches Justine Fowler and Sue Cook and to Steve and Barbara Hall.  Some pictures from the ceremony and of Dana in Israel at the Maccabiah games are on the galleries now.
