All the latest news at Monmouth Gymnastics Club

I would like to thank everyone for the most wonderful open morning. Nothing could have prepared both Terry and I for what was to come. It was an amazing show of gymnastics and celebration of the hard work and commitment the girls and coaches make. To think that past girls had been practising their routine since Christmas was just mind blowing and very special. We are looking forward to our amazing gift of Afternoon Tea and Theatre Evening and feel thoroughly spoiled by everyone. Thank you to both past and present girls for making my last open morning unforgettable and my time at gym club momentous, also a huge thanks to parents for all their time and support.
