Our second 🏅 Checkers Achievement Awards Presentation 🏅 was held for our Tuesday Recreational Gymnasts, and what a fantastic evening it was!
It was wonderful to welcome families into the gym and share in the excitement as our gymnasts received the awards they have worked so hard to achieve. Throughout the programme, they have shown determination, resilience, and a real willingness to challenge themselves while learning new skills.
As coaches, there is nothing better than seeing the confidence and pride on their faces as they progress through the levels and achieve their goals. Every gymnast should be incredibly proud of their accomplishments.
A huge well done to all of our gymnasts, and thank you to our families for your continued support throughout their gymnastics journey. We can’t wait to see what you’ll achieve next! ✨🤸♀️
If you have a child who would be interested in starting their own gymnastics journey with us, we’d love to hear from you. Send us a message to find out more about our recreational classes and current availability 😍

Layla, we are also so proud of you. Sitting in 8th place for Regional 1 U13. Your runs were beautiful, and you had some really good scores. The scores were so close between yourself and 3rd place. You should be so happy with this.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Due to the forecasted high temperatures tomorrow (Tuesday 26th May), and in line with our Hot Weather Guidelines, we will be making the following adjustments to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children and staff:
❌ Gymnastics Sessions
All scheduled gymnastics sessions on Tuesday will be cancelled for the full day.
✅ Holiday Camp – Running with Adjustments
Our holiday camp will still be running, however there will be some important changes to the structure of the day:
* Increased break times throughout the day
* More downtime and lower-intensity activities as temperatures rise
* A focus on keeping children cool, hydrated, and comfortable
* Ice lollies will be available to help keep everyone cool
⚠️ Early Collection if Needed
If at any point we feel that the heat is becoming too excessive, or if a child is struggling in the conditions, parents will be contacted and asked to collect their child early.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we prioritise everyone’s health and safety during this period of hot weather.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thanks
Checkers Gymnastics
