A massive Well done to all 40 gymnasts who represented SGA at the northern teamgym qualifiers in Edinburgh this weekend! All SGA teams put on an amazing performance and the club came away with 3 golds, one silver and one bronze and 3 teams qualified for the British Championships. The junior girls national team also managed to get the top score of the day with an impressive overall score. Well done all! Big thanks to the coaching team who worked really hard with all the teams in the run up to the competition to ensure all 5 teams were prepared for the competion experience. Also thanks to the SGA judges for their input into the new team floor and apparatus routines! A special thank you to Gemma Flood for her excellent filming skills at the comp and to the parents and supporters for their support and commitment.

Just a short message to let you know that this years event will once again be filmed, also that

"There are a limited number of last years DVD’s to sell on the day. If anyone would like to ensure they get a DVD from last years event then contact

Don’t forget to send any Sainsburys Active Kids Vouchers in to SGA! The more vouchers we collect = more new equipment for everyone!! 🙂

All gymnasts to wear full kit and competition hair and arrive dressed ready to warm up. If any parents would like to come and watch please arrive at 7pm, unfortunately we don’t have any seating available so this would just be on the mats Etc. After the practice competition coaches will need to feedback to the teams and make changes if necessary so parents are welcome to have a cuppa in the waiting area whilst the teams finish their session. 🙂

Just a reminder that there are no classes during half term except for the teams competing in Edinburgh. The gym is also closed on Fri 28th Feb and Sat 1st March due to this competition. 🙂

Just a reminder that the gym is closed tomorrow morning! Classes resume as normal tomorrow evening 🙂

The whole event is looking likely to finish around 7pm! First warm up will be at 8.30am with registration at 8.15am. All Level 4 / Regional level teams (prim mix and jun Girls) will possibly compete first. Presentations will be held once teams competing at that level have completed their rounds. The level 4 / regional comp will then followed by all national teams (prim boys / prim girls / jun girls) which is looking likely to finish at approx 7pm. The times will be comfirmed once the schedule has been completed but this is just an update of info and is not definite!!! More info soon! 🙂

Please could you issue the ticket application form for North Region Clubs so that they may distribute the form to any spectators who wish to have their tickets in advance of the event.
There is a closing date of 14th February to ensure that the tickets are sent out in plenty of time prior to the competition itself.
Prices have been frozen at £10 and £5.
The form is also on the Scottish Gymnastics website but I thought I would send the form to Clubs as some groups found it helpful to be able to hand out the form to those wishing to purchase tickets.
People are reminded to arrive wearing their wristbands to make access to the seating area much quicker. Anyone not arriving with their ticket will be required to pay again in order to spectate. There will be NO exceptions.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the event again this year.
