On the day we will also have strength challenges, appearances from local elite sporting identities and demonstrations from our own talented gymnasts.

We have support from “Knuckles” from FM104.7 and an official opening ceremony with the Chief Minister.

This is a family fun day with free training programs for children to try gymnastics and a number of stalls including a BBQ, merchandise, face painting, beer tent and a free show bag for every child.

There is some minor landscaping to be done outside, some concrete to be poured and the steps to be put in place. This is all expected to be finished by Friday next week, 3^rd December.

THEN THE BUILDING IS OURS!

Please remember that we are going to start setting it up on Monday 6^th December, so if you have any spare time during the week I would love to see you. If any senior gymnasts who are prepared to WORK and have finished school or can get time off then I would welcome them also.

WE NEED YOU!

As you know the extension is almost near completion and the club has decided to make the most of the big event and combine the opening ceremony with a GALA DAY for promotion of the club and gymnastics.

Children/Members will be given the opportunity to show family, friends and potential new members how gymnastics is fun for all ages and skill level.

In order to conduct an activity of this size, we need the support of the entire club for the planning and preparation, as well as help on the day with running activities.

Please help support your club, all ideas, interest and offers of assistance of any size are welcome.

Our first meeting is on Tuesday 26 October at 6.30pm and is to bring everyone’s ideas and concepts together to make this another successful event.

On Friday 8 October a group of senior boys went over the ADFA Over Water Obstacle Course. The course is designed as a confidence builder and, surprising the Physical Training Instructor, 10 of the 11 boys completed the course and a number went back a second time.

Thank you to ADFA and their staff for allowing us to use the course.
