Skills Competition

Latest News!

What's New!

On Saturday 12th December Dundonald Gmnastics Club put on their annual xmas display.

 

This was a chance for the parents to see the results of all their childrens hard work throughout the year.

 

It was also an opportunity for everyone to see the competition gymnasts performing their routines on floor, bars and beam and celebrate the success the club has had in its 3rd year as a competitive club.

 

Santa was on hand to give out gifts and meet with the kids. The club committee manned tombola, bottle, pocket money, raffle, merchandise and refreshment stalls with all proceeds raising money for the club.

 

We also had a photography studio was set up to allow families to get pictures of their own little performers.

 

A great day was had by all and we raised £1600 for the benefit of the club.

 

Big thank you to everyone involved especially all donations that assisted in making the raffle and stalls such a success on the day. Merry Xmas!
