Spring and Summer events

Good morning all,

I hope March has been a great month for all, a week or two of Spring Break and some great weather.

For coaches and competitive gymnasts it has been a busy month... Starting out with some great memories and experiences at the BC Winter Games, and lots of preparation of the 2010 Western Canadians which start in 25 days at Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence on Interurban and this morning with Carly, Cairo and Caroline competing in Vancouver at Provincials to qualify for Westerns...whew... as my husband calls it every year, the crazy times of spring.

Thanks for everyone keeping up on the changes of training due to school closures and spring break, it was good to see some of you able to participate.... And unfortunately the upcoming week has some changes as well. Due to Easter there will not be regular training on Friday April 2, Sat, April 3 and Monday April 5...competition team will receive emails re any possible training during those four days.

You are welcome to attend other days of training if you like, Saturday morning kids would be welcome on Monday 29th, and Weds mar 31... and I will post more training after Easter as well. FYI when you are paying for the full year/10 for monthly it includes 34 training sessions and so these cancellations are not included in the 24, so please do not adjust your fees.

Thanks for your patience about all of these
