You could be a "Gymnast of the Month" The Frogmore Leisure Centre and Aspire Gymnastics have got together and bought three silver cups.

The AGM was well attended.  The evening began with Hayley Buckman, Club Development Officer from British Gymnastics, explaining the hard work involved in gaining a GymMark Award. Then she presented the plaque to Martha Trott & Jo.  The children came with their pyjamas, sleeping bags and cuddly toys. Clare made sure they all had enough popcorn while watching a DVD. The adults saw to the business of the evening hearing reports from the club's Officers and overseeing the election of Officers for the next year. Martha Trott decided to stand down as Chair.

On Saturday 3rd November Aspire Gymnastics at Frogmore held its first club championships. The club is lucky to have so much support. It was the first time many of the coaches had helped at a competition and most of the judges were novices as well.  46 of our gymnasts entered, that's nearly half the membership. Over 120 friends and family supported them. The gymnasts have only been learning their routines since September and they performed brilliantly, many winning medals. All the gymnasts competed on Floor and Vault and many also competed on the Bars, Beam and Trampette as well as all doing a routine showing Body Management. The two youngest gymnasts were still only 4 years old, Tilly Beresford and Amy Garner.  Jo  praised all the gymnasts and thanked all the parents, coaches and judges for making it a huge success.  Gil  was so grateful for all the assistance given by numerous parents and grandparents, it was a super day and if we can rely on plenty of hel...
