on-line Beginners course.

New Junior Coaches

Congratulations to Joey Haenen who has progressed from a demon-

strator to Junior Coach and welcome to new Junior Coach Justyse

Dixon from the Platinums Performance Troupe.

New Clubrooms Project Grant Schwarzkopff was kind enough to pop

down to Glassey Park recently to take some

aerial photographs of the site where our new

clubrooms will soon be built.

The builder has now been selected and will be

announced as soon as all the paperwork has

been finalised.

Once all the grass has been removed the

underground irrigation will then be pulled out.

See website for updates over the break.

Grape Stomp

Competition The BDYC received a last minute

invitation to the Loxton North

Primary School’s annual Grape

Stomp competition. Monetary

prizes are awarded for the winner

in both the senior and junior

sections and although we didn’t win

we all had a great time. Thank you

to Peter, Kathy, Jane, Charlotte,

Alyssa, Levi, Rebekah, Mikayla and

Harry. Well done!

Colds and Flu If you are feeling unwell we ask that you skip your gymnastics session to help

prevent the spread of colds and flu this winter.

Winter Tips Make sure that you continue to bring your water bottle.

Dress in layers-long sleeved leotard, leggings, shorts & t-shirt, tracksuit.

Wear warm shoes to and from the clubrooms-Ugg boots or slip on shoes

are best.

Socks can be worn for warm-ups but must then be removed for training.

Remember-No hoodies, zips, belts, buckles, skirts or demin of any kind.

Cancellations due to bad weather Classes are only cancelled if the weather is too dangerous for you to drive. Eg: Severe hail storms,

wild winds, very heavy rains causing flooding etc. Members will be notified via a message on the

club’s website/Facebook.
