Douglas Gymnastics Club celebrates it’s 30th Anniversary this year. To celebrate this we are holding a weekend long gala event of gymnastics. On the morning and afternoon of Friday 5th December, we’re opening our doors to all the primary schools in the locality, where they can come along, and work with our coaches, and on our equipment.
Then on Friday night we’re holding our opening Gala Display, followed by a reception for our VIP guests. We’re especially inviting back all past members to join us for this momentous occasion.
Then on Saturday, we’re holding two additional displays, at 12:00 and again at 7:30pm, followed by our closing show on Sunday 7th at 3pm.
At this stage all our gymnasts are working hard on their performances, and will have extra training times in the coming weeks. Additionally, we’re being joined by friends from other gymnastics clubs from Cork and further afield for the show.
Tickets are now available (click on the poster for more information). We expect them to sell out very soon - Be sure to get your ticket early.
