| Star Invitational Competition |
| On the 20th June 2010 we held our first Star Invitational Competition, 5 clubs were involved, Jersy Gymnastics Club, Burnham Gymnastics Club, Rugby Gymnastics Club, Dunstable Gymnastics Club and ourselves. |
| This competition was aimed at our development groups as they do not get the chance to compete very often unless its grades, so we held a competition for them. |
 |
| It was a very relaxed day with no pressure we just wanted the girls to have fun and enjoy competing showing the audience what they had learnt. |
| Lots of medals and trophies were given out as it was a medal for each piece and a trophy for the overalls. |
|
All our gymnasts competed fantastically and the results are up on the board upstairs if you would like to look at them.

The girls took to the stage first and with beam as their first piece the pressure was on, all the girls had new beam routines with new moves to compete and coped with them extreamely well, they then proceeded to vault for another clean round. Bars followed and a new bar routine again proved that the girls were having a good comp.

A fantastic comp flying the GB & MK Gym flag proudly were Caolifhinn Mcginnity, Charlotte & Eleanor Smithson. In the boys section Dylan Zastron competed all new rutines and did us pround showing that all his work had paid offby claiming a 20 spot.

| MILTON KEYNES GYMNASTICS ACHIEVES GYMMARK |
|
Congratulations to all our coaches and staff who have helped us towards achieving our GymMark award. This is an award in partnership with sport England and sports councils which recognizes clubs which provide quality experiences. The criteria to achieve this has been to ensure we are providing a safe, effective and child friendly environment and to constantly keep up to date all our records on qualification of coaches and their ratios, CRB checks for all helpers and coaches and processes to monitor safety.
It also means that all our staff are trained to the highest of standard within their field of expertise. Included within this is child protection, equity and ethics. We provide equal opportunities to all the community from pre school to adults and offer this to all levels of ability.
It has taken some time to achieve this due to the many coaches we have here and the need to get them qualified in the many different areas in order to comply with these regulations. Our thanks go out to all our staff and coaches who have sacrificed many a weekend to attend various courses!
