Apologies that this month’s newsletter is arriving slightly later than usual. February has been an exceptionally busy – and shorter – month! We hope that everyone has had a great half-term and that the children are settling back into school nicely.

We wanted to share a few highlights from February, along with some important updates for the weeks ahead.

Club Competitions – Bedford
February saw our fantastic Bedford club competitions take place, led by our amazing Bedford Head Coach, Sharon. These competitions gave our Bedford members the opportunity to compete within their own centre, and they were a huge success.

We have been so impressed with the progress shown by all the gymnasts, and even more so by the smiles on their faces when they received their results. Well done to everyone who took part, and a huge thank you to the coaches who gave up their time to ensure the competition ran smoothly.

Half-Term Holiday Camps
Our February half-term holiday camps were busier than ever and completely sold out. The feedback we have received so far has been absolutely fantastic – thank you to everyone who attended.

We are pleased to confirm that Easter Holiday Camp bookings are now open, with our early bird discount running until the end of this week.

Camps will run as usual:
• 9:30am – 11:30am
• 9:30am – 2:00pm (full day)

These sessions are open to members and non-members aged 3+ (and 5+ for full-day sessions).

Camp dates:
• 30th March
• 1st April
• 3rd April

We anticipate these will also be fully booked, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

Project Elevate – New Fundraising Target
Over the coming days, you will see the launch of our brand-new Pulloxhill fundraising project, named Project Elevate.

Project Elevate aims to help us create an additional floor above our current entrance and reception area. This is a major project with a fundraising target of £25,000+, but it will allow us to:
• Add more classes
• Create a viewing area for internal competitions
• Increase gymnastics space
• Add additional equipment

This will benefit all members by allowing us to spread out, improve training space and continue to grow the club.

In addition, we also have a fundraising target of £5,000 for our Bedford Centre, which will go towards purchasing a brand-new vault to support all our gymnasts there.

Sponsored Tumble – 9th to 15th March
From Monday 9th March to Sunday 15th March, we will be running our Sponsored Tumble within normal gymnastics sessions.

This will be a fun challenge where gymnasts see how many skills they can complete in one minute. The activity will be tailored to be age and ability appropriate.

Sponsorship letters will be given out in classes this week and will also be sent by email shortly.

All money raised will go directly towards each centre’s fundraising target.

There will be:
• Medals for the gymnast in each age group who completes the most skills
• One award per centre for the gymnast who raises the most money

Corporate Sponsorship
We are also currently looking for corporate sponsors who may be able to support our fundraising goals this year. As a registered charity, all funds raised are invested directly back into the club and into facilities and equipment for our gymnasts.

If you work for, or know of, an organisation that may be able to help support Gymnastics Reborn, we would love to hear from you.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to email us or speak to your child’s coach at their session.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
