Celebrations, Fundraising and Distinguished Visitors

What a month!  In amidst the whirl of competitions and successes we have also had other good news.  We heard this month that Marie McCleod, opne of our most popular and long serving coaches, has been awarded a national award for services to gymnastics.  With typical modesty, Marie won't talk about the award, but we would all like to give her our congratulations on this well deserved award.

England Week!

Redcar Girls and Boys had to come to Gym during the week 15^th – 20^th June, dressed in as much red and white they could. The Gymnasts all had to pay 50p to dress up, and if the parents forgot they had to pay a £1 and do a forfeit, we had many a parent diving into the pit, or doing press ups!! As you can see by the photographs everyone got into the spirit; it was an excellent week, we had fun and we raised some cash too. Thanks to all for supporting us.

Welcome to Ian Swales

All the Elite girls were surprised and pleased to welcome Ian Swales, our new MP, on a visit to gym last Saturday.  Ian came along at our invitation to see the work the club does with young people in the Redcar and Cleveland area and to talk about our hopes for a new gymnastics facility in the area.  Ian watched several of the groups in training and then was treated to a demonstration of tumbling by the girls.
