Ultimate trampoline

Following our successful fundraising campaign, we have now placed our order for the new Ultimate trampoline! We have to contain our excitement a little longer as the delivery date is the end of May, but it will be worth the wait. We were also able to purchase the end-deck to go with it which was great news.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, including local charitable trusts, Samworth Brothers Sports Opportunities fund, Sport England and all our friends, family, club members and committee members.

Edward qualifies for National Schools Final

The club had 5 gymnasts competing at the Central Zone Schools competition on 29th January – Edward Beale (4th), Roeshia Claxton (7th), Rosie Durrance (8th), Lucy Triggs (8th) and Chloe Billam (14th).

Edward finished in a fantastic 4th place in a field of 11 boys, therefore qualifying for the National Schools Final in March. It’s the second year in succession that Edward has qualified at this level, and this time in the Intermediate grade. Well done to Edward and all the other gymnasts.
