Springfit

We are delighted to announce that the Tesco for Schools & Clubs voucher collecting scheme is back for 2010 with vouchers available in store and with online grocery orders from Monday 1st of March!

In 2009 we managed to collect a whopping 6064 vouchers.  This year we are hoping to reach the 7,000 mark, in order to buy even more new gymnastics equipment for use in your classes.

Please help us expand the resources available to members by collecting as many vouchers as you can, and depositing them in the box by the door at the club.

The scheme runs for only 15 short weeks, so put on your sweetest smile to the cashiers, kids…  They love it!

We have also sent the below photo in to try and win 500 free vouchers, in Tesco’s banner competition. Thanks to all those who joined in the shoot!

For further information on our equipment requirements and fundraising goals for the year, please see http://www.springfit.org/fundraising

Any fundraising proposals are always gratefully received!

11 year old Francesca Bagley from Redhill has been awarded the coveted “Fay Greene Award for Progress in Gymnastics” trophy for her outstanding achievements throughout 2009.
The trophy is the top honour at Springfit Gymnastics and Trampolining club, and is awarded annually to the gymnast who, in the opinion of the coaches, has made the most progress in the previous 12 months.

Chosen from over 200 club members through all classes, Francesca was selected as the person who has shown great enthusiasm for the sport, and has improved in every aspect over the last year. Though training only 3 hours a week, Francesca has been able to achieve new moves as well as noticeably increase her strength and flexibility, which means she can go further than ever in all disciplines that she takes part in at the club. From performing acro pairs with her sister, to flying over the vault and tumbling advanced grades on the floor, she relishes every aspect of gym that Springfit club provides, and enjoys sharing her love of the sport with her classmates.

Here Francesca is pictured celebrating receiving the trophy during her Friday 7pm gym class.

Nine year old Zara Flint from Salfords has been awarded Springfit Gym Club’s Elite Trophy for her outstanding achievements throughout the last year.

The trophy rewards effort in improving flexibility, strength, attitude and performance in gymnastics.
Zara has competed in regular competitions for the club, and shown a fantastic commitment to training. Her enjoyment of gymnastics is evident with the enthusiasm she puts into every class, and her attendance record is spotless. She is now an integral part of the Elite class, which provides further hours of training to members through invitation by the Head Coach of advanced classes.

It caps a fantastic year for Zara, who won a gold medal in her age category at the November inter-club floor and vault competition, following on from a second place medal in the grade 4 tumbling category earlier in the year.

She has declared her intention to continue showing the dedication to the sport that has seen her achieve such a great deal in a short space of time, and coaches at Springfit are always excited to see her compete.

Zara is pictured here receiving the trophy in front of her peers during the Thursday Elite class.
