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.
