Our Annual Tumblethon is the club’s main fundraiser of the year.  We ask all members to support where possible.

  • Gymnasts should have received a sponsorship card in class this week (or will get next week)
  • All gymnasts will participate during their normal session, completing as many tumbles as possible in one minute.
  • ALL Sponsorship cards must be returned (even blank ones) by Sunday 8th March – please ensure gymnasts name is written clearly on the front of the card.
  • All returned cards will be entered into a prize draw and there will also be a prize for the gymnasts who raises the most sponsorship
