Gymnastic Club Opening Proves Resounding Success

Our Grand Opening

The Club's new facilities  have been officially opened, with over 200 gymnasts, parents and friends joined by a number of special guests to mark the occasion.

Marcus Jones, MP for Nuneaton, performed the official ribbon cutting on Saturday 26 January 2013, welcoming the provision of a club which offers significant opportunities for the local community.

The opening follows the extensive refurbishment of the Club made possible through Olympic legacy funding of almost £50,000 from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities Fund. In addition to seeing how the investment has helped in developing the town’s gymnasts, guests were also able to tour the facilities, an excellent example of a project that has directly benefited from the legacy of last summer’s superb Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Club’s gymnasts put on a display of their skills for the  guests who included Dave Long from Sport England (a Coventry based athlete who has competed at the Olympics in the Marathon); Elfie Allen, the club’s founder; David Carr, Councillor for the ST Nicholas Park ward; Nathan Blundell, Club Development Officer for Nuneaton & Bedworth Leisure Trust; Janet Stubbs and Ann Haynes from the Nuneaton & Bedworth Sports Forum; and Liz Hawker from British Gymnastics.
