Fundraising

Pointers and Springfit now have their own fund raising teams for each club and they will be looking at ways to raise money for much needed new pieces of equipment. Each club has generated their own list of urgently needed equipment for example: soft play pre-school gym equipment, new floor mats, throw in mats, asymmetric and high bars.

Unfortunately the cost of new equipment is not cheap, so by the raising of funds, all club members will benefit with the use of the equipment.

To start it all off….

Pointers:

To begin our fundraising challenges we would like to have a little fun and will be arranging a Pyjamas Day! This will be on Monday 9th November and Wednesday 11th November for all gymnasts and trampolinists. All we need for you to join in the fun with us is to bring along yourself, your PJ's and £1 towards the fun. This is purely optional but we hope you will join in the fun and games we have planned.

More details will follow on the Pointers website at www.pointersclub.co.uk soon or alternatively contact club manager Sefra on: pointers (at) saturnv.co.uk or Chief Fundraiser Chris Bower on: Sportachris (at) googlemail.com

Recent Competitions

Members of Pointers (Caterham) and Springfit (Horley) Gymnastics and Trampoline Clubs were invited to compete at the largest recreational gymnastics and trampoline competition in the UK last week.

Over twenty clubs from the South East came together for the annual Flair invitational competition held at the Walton Xcel Leisure Centre, Surrey, and the two local Saturn V Association stalwarts walked away with many of the top honors. The Disney themed occasion was well received and provided spectators with entertaining routines, as well as the proud parents witnessing superb routines from their children, on trampolines and the gymnastics floor. The judges were impressed with the overall standard, and some impressive vaulting wowed the crowds.

In all, Springfit club too

k home 17 medals, and Pointers achieved 16, including 8 gold medals for each club!

From Springfit, Katie Pidgeon (12) impressed all by taking 1 st place in both the highest levels of trampoline as well as gymnastics. There were also podium top-spots for young Lucy Fish (7), Abbie Clifton (11), Aylish Moore (8), Alex Alpe (15), Kayleigh Donovan (18) and a birthday gold for Holly Bird, who turned 15 just the day before.

Of the numerous second-place finishes, a special mention should go to the wonderful efforts of Chelsie Kilgannon (9), who did superbly in performing a flawless gymnastics routine and excellent vaults. Plus Lauren Monk (8) who shone on the trampoline in her age category.

From Pointers, Kaitlyn Galvin (9) showed the winning touch in her first competition, taking 1 st place in gymnastics and 3 rd place in trampoline. Gold medals in gymnastics were also won by Jemma Slater (12), Lily Fairhall (10), Carla Stoica (7) and Zara Coen (8). In trampoline, Sasha Breen (7), Anna Mennecier (14) and Rosie Fuller (13) took first place in their age categories.

Much improvement was shown by Megan Davies (10) who won Bronze and Daisy Roadnight (10) who both worked very hard and placed higher then last year.

Pictured here are Laura Songhurst and Katie Pidgeon from Springfit, and Carla Stoica and Kaitlyn Galvin from Pointers.
