About Us

Our gymnasts participate in an enjoyable safe environment through structured instruction in many key developmental areas. The club provides a range of classes from beginner level through to competitive.

Through our sessions all members can participate on apparatus including bars, beams, floor, vault and air track to develop and progress their skills which gives every child the opportunity to reach their individual potential in gymnastics. We also work towards gymnastic awards and offer chance to take part in club events throughout the year.

We host two competitions each year to raise funds for the club for new equipment and annually support two charities, Crohns & Colitis UK and a local children’s charity — The Snowdrop Trust.
