Vault Into Christmas Competition
Booking is opening on Friday for our spectacular Vault Into Christmas competition on 22nd November 2026. This competition is open to the majority of the club, all of our recreational gymnasts aged 4+ and 2 piece advanced rec/squad gymnasts. Please note booking will close at midday on 6th November and no late entries will be accepted. The entry fee is £25, which includes 1 spectator. More spectator tickets will be released after the closing date subject to space restrictions. Coaches will be choosing levels for each child in the next week.

Competitions
During September, some of our squad gymnasts took part in external competitions. The NW Tin and Zinc 12+ level competitions were on 12/13th September and the Liverpool Open was on 18-20th September. Our gymnasts have earned lots of medals, awards and trophies in these competitions. Please see our social media for results. There were also personal achievements, such as competing a level for the first time, doing a new skill and being a kind team mate. In October, we have a few more competitions. Bronwen is competing in the NW Bronze competition (our first bronze level gymnast!) and we have 16 advanced rec gymnasts taking part in the Edge Hill invitational this weekend. We also have 4 gymnasts competing in the NW Zinc 11 and under and Copper competition on 24th/25th October. Good luck to all!
Christmas dates
Our last class before Christmas will be Saturday 19th December and first class back 4th January. We will let you know nearer to the time if there are any holiday clubs or extra training available over the holidays.
