CLUB GRADES BRITISH FINALS

 

Hannah MacKay (13, from Ellon), Catherine Amos (12, from Fyvie) and Jemma Ferguson (11, from Torphins) all qualified to represent Scotland at the British Finals of their respective events on the 28 th /29 th April in Birmingham.  The girls will travel with Garioch’s head coach – Janine Lloyd to the event.  For Jemma and Catherine this will be their first Scottish representative competition but will have Hannah on hand to reassure them, as this is the 4 th time she has represented her country in gymnastics.  

 

As you can imagine all of this does not come cheap.  Training up to 5 days a week throughout the year (the club only really stop at Christmas for holidays) already costs the parents a small fortune.  Adding in these extra costs and Scottish squad training for Hannah and Jemma means the parents have to pay out a significant amount over the year.  If anyone is willing to help sponsor the girls to attend the competition (any amount no matter how small would be appreciated) please contact Janine Lloyd on 01467 628809.

 

In addition to this the club are also trying to secure their own building, which can be permanently set up as a gymnastics facility.  With the amount of children currently taking part in gymnastics in and around Inverurie, the huge waiting list the club holds and with all the ongoing successes of the competitive gymnasts the club desperately need a permanent facility to maintain and build on these successes and allow more children to take part in the sport at all levels.  Again, if anyone can help please contact Janine Lloyd.
