Members of Woodham Village Community Centre’s Gymnastics Club were surprised last Friday night as the club has been able to completely replace all its old equipment.
“The new high quality and very safe equipment will make a huge difference especially to children’s confidence” said Coaches Joy, Kevin and Vicky.
“In all our years we have never had a club where everything was new”.
The funding has been provided by a grant from Great Aycliffe and Middridge Area Action Partnership (GAMP).
The project named “Olympians Start Somewhere” is aimed, in this Olympic year, to encourage young people aged 4+ to participate in gymnastics.
It did not take long for the children to appreciate the new kit. Mia, aged 5, proudly told her mother Paula that the new floor mats were so big she could have done three cartwheels if she’d wanted to.
The mother of Erin Jennifer, said even though her daughter was older and a member of other big clubs she still liked coming as it was less daunting, especially for the younger ones.
The group is held at Woodham Village Community Centre every Friday night at 6.00pm.
Why not come and see us?
