Congratulations to Grace and Ben for achieving their British Gymnastics Coaching Helpers Award.
From Saturday 5th March, the Korean School is back and we can again use the glass School Atrium entrance to the Sports Centre. This will be for drop off and pick up. There may be some congestion in the car park but they will have parking attendants to help.
In November 2019 we celebrated our 25th year as a club.
It all started in late summer 1994 of with a family gathering round the dining room table to discuss whether it would be possible and who would be involved. Andy and Sandy were willing and fortunately daughters Adeline and Naomi were up for it. Naomi later left for son's football (!!) switching with daughter Steph. We brainstormed for a name and Genesis seemed suitable for an enterprise with a new beginning. Sandy and Andy had already been running Acrobrats pre-school classes on weekdays for a number of years and we had some good coaches helping us with those, and a couple said yes to Saturdays.
Winners of the Regional Chairman's Legacy Award
In 2019 Andy, Sandy, Adeline, Steph, Jasper, Nyah & Matt (Adeline's husband) were awarded the South East Region Chairman's Legacy Award, for services to the Region in running the regular Floor & Vault competitions. These started in the year 2000 and have grown steadily in popularity. Over 1000 gymnasts a year now enter these competitions. It is rare for 3 generations of a family to be involved in running such events and the award recognises this.
