Penketh Gymnastics Club

☀️ Hot Weather Reminder ☀️

The gym is likely to be very warm this week, so we're making a few adjustments to help keep everyone comfortable and safe.

💧 Please send your gymnast with a bottle of water
👕 Short-sleeved leotards or shorts and a t-shirt only
⏰ Extra drink and rest breaks will be built into sessions

We understand if families decide not to attend due to the heat. If your child won't be coming to class, please let us know.

Thank you for your support and helping us keep all of our gymnasts hydrated and happy this week! ☀️

💜 Could You Train to Become a Gymnastics Judge? 💜

We're urgently looking for new judges to support our competition programme.

Whenever our gymnasts attend external competitions, we are required to provide judges. Unfortunately, with only a small judging team, we're having to limit the number of competitions we can enter.

We're looking for parents, grandparents, family members, former gymnasts or anyone connected to the club who would be interested in training as a judge.

📅 Judging Course: 1st & 2nd August 2026
📍 Lymm, Warrington
✅ No previous judging experience required

Becoming a judge is a fantastic way to support the club and help give our gymnasts more competition opportunities.

If you're interested or would like more information, please send us a message!

We’re so grateful to British Gymnastics and Grace & Green for this amazing period kit we won in their recent giveaway 💜💚

While we’ve always made sanitary products available for our gymnasts, this fantastic kit helps us go even further in supporting comfort, confidence, and wellbeing in the gym.

A brilliant addition to our facilities! Thank you for helping us look after 💜

🎉💜 Happy Birthday Moira! 💜🎉

Wishing a very happy birthday to Moira – one of our amazing volunteer judges and valued committee members 🥳

Over the past few months, Moira has gone above and beyond, stepping in to support the club during a time when we’ve had a shortage of judges. Her time, dedication and willingness to help wherever needed have made such a difference 💜

As both a parent representative and a volunteer, Moira plays such an important role in our club community, and we are so grateful for everything she does for 💜

We hope you have a fantastic birthday and a lovely day celebrating – you absolutely deserve it! 🎂✨
