These dates are subject to change, this is what has been released by London Gymnastics. Please be aware that if certain entry number are hit, competitions may be changed to run on both Saturday and Sunday, Saturday or Sunday. We may not know this information until 2/3 weeks before the competition so please keep the weekend free incase of changes.

Due to the removal of the Novice competition pathway, dates have been changed for the 4 piece regional competitions. This means emails will be going out to cancel Saturday sessions and replace them so be on the look out for that.

There is no guarantee that we will be entering all of these competitions, it will depend on the amount of gymnasts we have to take, coach availability and judge availability. Gymnasts will not automatically be able to attend all competitions, this will depend on whether gymnasts are successfully completing all skills required to attend.

Any new dates for competitions including Friendlies will be added to this list as we go.

On the 19th November some of our gymnasts attended Claphams Gymnastics Around the World Twin Piece Invitational Competition. Such a lovely experience for our gymnasts and the girls represented the club beautifully. As well as pair awards, Clapham also did 1st place on each piece. Gymnasts were also asked to create a piece of work demonstrating their heritage and culture. Their pair numbers were to focus of the piece of work. We saw some very creative designs from lots of gymnasts! A big thank you to those gymnasts who took part in this part of the competition.

A big thank you to Clapham for the invitation to the competition. The girls loved it.

From date commencing 29th October through to the 3rd of November we ran a Halloween dress up competition. The rules were simple, come to session dressed up in your favourite/best Halloween outfits. Gymnasts had to be able to train safely in their outfits and wore a leotard underneath.

Prizes would go to the best dressed gymnast in their halloween outfit!

We were spoilt for choice this year and since there were so many fantastic outfits, we decided to crown a winner for each set of classes that entered.

Without further ado… please see our winners!

Amazing job to everyone that entered and a massive well done to our winners this year!

We had our grand Opening for our Bromley HQ on 24th August 2022. It was such a memorable evening.

In attendance was 2018 and 2022 Commonwealth champion on bars and team silver medallist at the European Championships and team silver medallist at the World Championships, Georgia Mae-Fenton. The BBC London News and some key members from our governing body British Gymnastics also attended.

It was an amazing evening for our gymnasts who came in for their session to be joined by Fenton herself. She even done a little bit of coaching, giving some top tips to our young gymnasts. We had a Q and A with gymnasts and coaches and she even brought in her Commonwealth medal for the gymnasts to see.

The ribbon cutting was a lovely moment for coaches and gymnasts alike.
