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.

Well done to Edward for qualifying for the national schools final. The final took place on 18th March and Edward completed both his routines to finish in a very creditable 11th place, in a very strong field.

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.

We’ve reached our Crowdfunding target with 4 days left to go! We will soon be able to buy our new trampoline – how fantastic

Our Crowdfunding campaign is half way through and we have raised £4337. This is fantastic! Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far.

We need to press on now and achieve the full £5000, otherwise we will lose the Sport England pledge of £2500. Please help us if you can, by donating using the link on our home page – we’re almost there

Help us to buy a new trampoline

At the regional schools competition in December 2022, 5 of our gymnasts qualified for the next round of competition – the central zone round. The gymnasts are Lucy Triggs, Roeshia Claxton, Chloe Billam, Edward Beale and Rosie Durrance. Congratulations all of you.

Our fund-raising campaign to buy a new Ultimate 4×4 trampoline is well under way. We have raised £2500 so far from 3 local charities, including the J Reginald Corah Foundation. Our Crowdfunder campaign to raise a further £5000 will be launching on 3rd January – look out for the link to make a pledge

We are raising money to buy a new competition trampoline, an Ultimate 4×4. We have to raise £9,360.

Purchasing a new competition trampoline will increase the opportunities for our gymnasts to develop and reach their potential, and give them more chance to qualify and compete at regional and national competitions. It will enable the club to develop and be sustainable for the future, and will also help to attract more trampoline coaches, which in turn will allow us to increase membership.

We are planning to raise the money through applying to several different funding streams for grants and donations, asking if local businesses would be willing to donate, as well as raising money ourselves, starting with a Christmas party and a Sponsored Jump.

If you are interested in making a donation, please contact Annette at: aandnlewis@gmail.com or look out for the link to our Crowdfunder page coming soon!
