A massive well done to the Level 4 Swallows Team who competed in the Essex Team Championships on 30th October. The team consisted of Amelia Daniel, Caitlin Boyle, Paige Boyle, Ella-Mae Potter, Kelsey Moyse and Sydney Moyse as reserve. The girls had a fabulous competiton and came away with 3rd overall. On top of this Amelia also came out with the second highest beam score of the competition and 4th overall which is fantastic as well. This competition marked the end of the 2011 competition season and from all the coaches and committee at Swallows, a massive thank you goes out to all the girls for all their hardwork and commitment this year. Well done. Here’s to an exciting 2012!!

Swallows GC gained planning permission this month for its own purpose built gymnastics facility. For over 20 years we have been trying to find a suitable premises or land area in order to gain this permission and we have finally found it. This is agreat step for us and we are looking forward to a brighter and bigger future, hopefully starting in 2012. A big thank you to Lee Daniel and his team of experts for all their hard work.

Congratulations to Caitlin Boyle who competed in her first ever regional final this month. Caitlin had a superb competition to see her finish in 4th overall ahead of the other Essex qualifiers. Well done Caitlin we are all very pleased with your results.
