The gymnastics club is a limited company with charitable status. Any surplus funds are used to pay for coaching courses, exams, entry fees to competitions and of course equipment.
We are a competitive and recreational gymnastics club whose aim is to encourage children of any standard and ability to enjoy gymnastics.
We take part in County and Regional competitions and also take our recreational gymnasts through the British Gymnastics Association (BGA) proficiency award scheme.
We also run our popuar pre-school courses focusing on combining fun with fitness and agility within a safe environment.
The club started about 30 years ago and was based at Dovedale Sports Centre, Vicarage Road, Chelmsford. We have worked hard to move into our own permanent premises which are at Tattersall Way.
Julie Belemore, the current Head Coach, took over the club in 1992. When Julie took over the club had 20 girls, training on two badminton courts on a Saturday. We now have over 200 gymnasts, with a waiting list of 100 more, training 4 times a week.
We currently have 3 Essex champions: 2 silver medalists and a regional finalist. Our Level 4 team won the bronze medal at the County Team competition in October 2008 and our Level 3 team came 4th in the county. We also have 1 gymnast who is a member of the County squad.
