Annual Tumblethon
TUMBLETHON – Mon 20th – Sun 26th February – Sponsorship cards will be given out to all gymnasts this week.
This is the club’s main annual fundraiser. All gymnasts will participate during their normal session next week. They will do as many tumbles as they can in a minute.
We ask that everyone please do their best to support this Annual Club Fundraiser
Douglas Gymnastics Club is a non-profit making community organisation – meaning all income received throughout the year is re-invested into the club. So, fundraising really plays an important role!
ALL Sponsorship cards must be returned (even blank ones) by Friday 24th March – please ensure your child’s name is written on the front of the card when returning it.
All returned cards at this date will be entered into a draw for a hamper full of goodies. There will also be a hamper for the gymnasts who raises the most!!
