sunday 14th December, our club competition, opened with a spectacular display from Emma Preedy, Leah Allen, Laura Binnee and Hazel Rankin (aka ginge). This led nicely into the competing rec groups who performed their routines with style and smile! Many gymnasts, competing for the first time and some old pros.It was also a pleasure to have with us Bucks Trampoline Academy and the day saw some spectacular individual routines as well as the final syncro competition which was as amusing for the spectators as it was for some of the competitors (Lyds and Dan especially !!). The day concluded with an impressive display by squad whos enthusiasm was as infectious as their smiles.
As head coach of Thames Valley, I was incredibly proud of all our pupils today. This is a 'fun' event and although we do have judges and present medals to the winners, we try very hard to ensure that it remains fun not just for those competing but also for those watching and I beleive we may have succeeded in our task today. I was especially proud of the team spirit and overwealming friendliness of our children. You were a credit to yourselves and the club. WELL DONE.
DE photography have now uploaded all of the photos taken at todays event so feel free to have a browse. User name is valley and password is allen all lower case. There are some fab pictures !!

Sunday 28th September saw 4 of our gymnasts compete in Southampton at the kind invitation of Lightening Trampoline Club. The day started off with an eventful journey down through thick fog. Managing to arrive just in time for Emma Preedy to compete (having attempted her warm up in the car with her seat belt fastened!) Her set went beautifully until the end when she decided that she needed a softer landing and aimed for the crash mat! With a 0.8 deduction. Her Vol was superbly performed and she came in 4th place narrowly missing the bronze medal place in the over 15 Regional D group and with absolutely no sign of the usual tears !! Regional E groups under 13 saw Ciorstan Macdonald(see our pics) and Danyon Hume both achieving silver place in their respective girls and boys group. Both gymnasts performed to very high standards and managed to hold their form throughout. This being the first time the new regional competition routines were used. in the Regional G under 9 girls group Maisie Rawlings strode home to take the gold medal position. The afternoon saw both Ciorstan and Dan competing in the first synchronised competition for the club competing against ALL ages and levels and impressed the spectators with their first execution of the routine. My thanks go to Leah, Louise and Hazel for their support. Also to the Macdonalds, Dave, Theresa and gramps! For their support. I dont think I have laughed quite so much (or quite as loudly) as I did during the 'entertainment' provided whilst waiting for the sychronised competition. The invention of the right/left game and the 'back to front front hat man' will stay with me for a long time yet !!!!!
