CHIPPENHAM’S Moonraker’s Gymnastic Club saw its 201 members come together at the weekend for the annual Club Winter Championships at the Olympiad Leisure Centre.

The competition featured all levels of club activity, from four-year old recreational members just taking their first steps in the sport, to seasoned competitors who have been working for years to achieve their level of performance. Competition was tight across all ages and ability groups, making for some very exciting events across the whole day.

Round one saw the recreational gymnasts who are currently completing their British Gymnastics Proficiency Awards 8-5, most of whom are very young or very new to the sport, lining up alongside the young gymnasts participating in the developmental levels of our competitive gymnastics programme.

In round two the recreational gymnasts working towards their Proficiency Awards 4-1 competed alongside the younger county grades gymnasts and the pre squad and squad groups who compete at a regional level.

The final round saw the advanced proficiency recreational gymnasts along with the senior county grades gymnasts and the older squad gymnasts.

The audience were treated to some spectacular performances from all levels of competitor in every round as well as a display from the squad gymnasts in between each round of competition.

There were 23 club champions crowned across the day, with all of those taking part receiving a participation certificate and ribbon as recognition of their achievement.
