Seagulls acrobatic gymnastic club


Last night I attended the Seagulls gymnastic club's Christmas display on behalf of Ian McCartney.

The display was outstanding and at times breathtaking. It is so good to see so many young people of all ages taking part in something so positive and which gives so much enjoyment to other people. It is a nice counter balance to all the nasty things that you see in the media about youth today.

To reach the standard I saw yesterday takes a lot of very hard work and practice. This was summarized by a slogan on the wall of the club which said in large letters something like 'If you don't want to try hard, go home'

Congratulations to all concerned and especially to Jonathan Finch who was voted gymnast of the year at a North West dinner last Sunday.

Totally agree , my 8 yr old is a gymnast at seagulls and loves it ..
it takes years of training to reach the level that those gymnasts are at and they totally deserve any credit given.

Total dedication for gymnasts and families to support them.
