The annual novice competition was held on Sunday 26
June 2011 in the gym
on Saturday. The weather was kind to us and it was not too hot in
the gym.
As usual the competition would not have been a success without the
49 competing gymnasts and all
their supporters in the form of mums, dads, grannies, grandpas, brothers, sisters etc.
who did a great job in cheering and applauding and generally making
lots of noise.
Congratulations to all the medal winners and well done to all 25
gymnasts who stuck their beam routines - it is such a difficult
piece of apparatus to stay on especially with lots of people watching
you.

Fromeside Gym on Sunday 10 April 2011
Due to a number of injuries only 3 girls entered the competition.
Evie Maidment achieved 3rd place on all pieces to take home the
bronze medal in her category.
Lauren Worgan worked incredibly hard and made her coaches very proud
achieving a creditable 8th place out of a large group of girls.
The best performance was Rosie Coad's who took the gold medal on
each individual piece and therefore came home with the overall
gold - a total of 4 gold medals - a good day at the office!!

 Ben
Clarke enjoyed his first competition, outside the gym, competing on
floor, vault and trampet in the Under 8 Level A category. A
brilliant performance by Ben to finish 10th overall out
of 20 boys.
Huge congratulations to Patrick Summerell-Youde who showed great
skill on the day and came away with three gold medals as a reward
for all his, and the coaches, hard work. He missed out on gold on
the trampet by just 0.05 but won gold on floor and vault. He won the
overall championship at his level and received another gold medal.

UPDATE: the open afternoon was a great success
thanks to the gymnasts, parents, coaches and prospective gymnasts
that turned up. Allegedly, there were a few tired gymnasts at the
end of the 3 hours. All the same a big thank you.

On Saturday the 5 March 2011 from 2.00pm onwards
we are holding our first Open afternoon to enable people who have
not tried gymnastics before to undertake a free trial.
Club gymnasts will be present to show what can be
done and our Coaches will be there to show, support and encourage
the aspiring gymnast in the ways of this most exciting sport. It is
quite amazing how easy it is to walk along a 2" wide line on the
floor yet put someone 90cm in the air on a 4" beam and it can be a
different proposition.
Children as well as Adults are more than welcome
to come along although we do ask that people wear appropriate
clothing to undertake a sporting activity. For the novice track suit
bottoms and a T shirt are fine and for safety reasons we will ask
that all shoes, socks and jewellery are removed once in the gym.
So, if you know anyone who would like to give
gymnastics a try - tell them to come along on Saturday 5 March at
2.00pm.

Well done to all those competing and especially
those competing for the first time in such a big gym - that floor
can look awfully big.
Thanks to all the supporters for bringing the
gymnasts along - without you it would not have happened.
We have a new Club Captain - Ellys Jackson - and
despite not competing due to injury it was good to see her at the
competition. We also have a new Vice-Captain in Kirsty Allen -
someone to whom Ellys can delegate certain tasks.

The annual novice competition was held in the gym
on Saturday. It was a wonderful summer's day and not too hot in the
gym despite their being over 110 of us in the hall.
Thank you to all the gymnasts who took part and for managing to hold
their nerves at their first competition. Another thank you to all
the supporters in the form of mums, dads, brothers, sisters et al -
they did a great job in cheering and applauding the competitors on.
Congratulations to all the medal winners and well done to all those
gymnasts who stuck their beam routines - it is such a difficult
piece of apparatus to stay on especially with lots of eyes watching
you.
The squad and their coaches put on a great
tumbling display which was appreciated by all (if only they could
tumble like that in training!!) It was nice to see the coaches show
the gymnasts that they can still do it even though they are
ancient!!
Without the support of the coaches, who were
judges for the day, and the gymnasts who helped by guiding the
competitors to their apparatus and taking the scores to Richard, the
event could not have taken place. A huge thank you to them
all.

West Country League 2007  
All the matches had been very close
and the clubs had all shared the points. The A league was finally
decided by a count back. Baskervilles and West Wilts were equal on
points but the result went to Baskervilles. Clevedon were 3rd but
all the results were very close.
In the B league the final match was
eventually won by Writhlington but they had only competed in one
match so the final result was left to maths. Baskervilles lost out
this time. They finished equal on points with newcomers Newton
Abbott but on this occasion the count back went against them. Newton
Abbott ,in their first year in the league became B league Champions.
Well done. Penzance just lost third place to West Wilts ;another
close fight; and Writhlington and Clevedon with only one match a
piece were 5th and 6th.
The three teams in Division 2 C
league were all on equal points going into the final so it was going
to be a nail biting last match. Clevedon unfortunately lost Samantha
Quantrill to injury so started the day with only two competitors.
Penzance were determined not to be second this year. They competed
well on all pieces and finished comfortable Champions. Baskervilles
fought hard but couldn’t quite score enough. Despite this
Baskervilles must have been happy with their weekend with a first
and two second places.
