champion.Eleanor performed out of

beautiful floor routine and a solid
performance all round with no falls
securing her an overall silver
medal with the score of 54.4. |

medal missing out by just 0.4 from
the bronze which would have made it
a clean sweep for mk gymnastics.

a couple of unlucky falls to
achieve an overall score of 51.1.
This put her in 4th but still
passing her elite grade by a very
comfortable margin. Charlotte

| 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! |
