After several years of sterling service we have finally decided to change the club leotards. This will not be done in a ‘big-bang’ approach but we are asking that all competitors are in possession of a new leotard by 1st January 2009. The existing leotards will remain suitable for training purposes, indeed we would like to see more members training in leotards in any event.For those that have not seen the new leotard they can be seen in this picture being modelled by Gemma Phillips and Scott Gregory:These leotards will be manufactured locally by Star Leotards and will be made to order; prices are :- girls sizes 22” – 32” at £40.50, sizes 34” – 38” = £41.50, matching scrunchie £2.00;
- boys 24” – 32” = £21.50 and 34” – 40” = £22.50.
Please contact Tina Page to arrange a fitting and to place an order – please note that the sizes are nominal sizes only and all leotards will be made to order only after a fitting so please do allow time for your orders to be fulfilled. Tina can be contacted by telephone on 01708 688376 or by email at Tina@page3340.freeserve.co.uk – she is also at the club most evenings.
We were delighted to be chosen by the Brentwood Gazette as their Club of the Week in the 23rd April edition. Many of the club's members and officials turned out for the photocall and are shown in the picture above.

On a snowy day several of us set off wondering if we would arrive, fortunately the roads were clear even if the windscreen often was not and everybody made the competition on time. It was another successful day for us with many more trophies and personal best scores - with 16 competing, 9 achieved podium positions, 4 in 1st place, 2 in 2nd and 3 in 3rd.To find out more visit the main competition report here.
A mixed weekend for our grade 1 & 2 bouncers but, on balance, some excellent results.With grade 1's bouncing on the Saturday, Scott Gregory withdrew from the individual competition to rest an ankle strain although competed with Stephen Williams of Liverpool in the Men's Synchro. The pair performed stunningly with desynch scores consistently in high 9's and victory over the next pair by a good margin. Natasha Holme put her recent run of poor form behind her to final in the under-17 group, finishing in 5th place with a National Finals qualification; Gemma Phillips finished 5 places behind 'Tash securing FIG B qualification for next season but narrowly missed Nationals qualification. Stephen Page also competed but, unusually for him, managed to not complete either set or voluntary routine.Sunday saw just two of our grade 2 competitors in action with Kensie Sherlock running out a clear winner in the under-11 group and Hannah McCann running away with the under-13 group 2 points clear of the 2nd placed girl. Both girls also easily qualified to National Finals and National C competition next season.
What a successful day we had. The competition finished on time which is always good news and our helpers and officials were fantastic but our performers really excelled.
With 23 competing only seven fell outside a top 3 place with 4 winners, 8 taking 2nd place and 4 in 3rd. Read more about the results on our website here.
Abbie-Jo Goldsmith is clearly a very determined individual and her commitment and consistent efforts to improve have stood out for some time now. If she carries this through in her other pursuits Abbie-Jo will undoubtedly be very successful in her life!
Not one of our most advanced trampolinists, but an increasingly confident and capable Assistant Coach - Catherine ('Cat') Zalicks was a deserving winner of our first award in 2008. Cat has impressed the coaching staff with her assured manner and analysis - the kids she coaches seem to like her as well!
What a fantastic weekend. With 3 wins, a 2nd place and 3 other good performances our Grade 1 & 2 competitors excelled.Winners were:- Scott Gregory - European Trial;
- Stephen Page - Under 17 male grade 1 - new personal best scores;
- Hannah McCann - Under 13 Grade 1 Validation;
Anthony Williams performed strongly in coming second in the Over 17 Grade 2 (qualifying to Nationals & National C in the process) with new personal best scores.
Those not achieving medal position also performed well with:- Matthew Wright ending in 4th place in Men's Grade 1 but qualifying for Nationals and FIG A;
- Gemma Phillips & Natasha Holme both qualifying for FIG B and narrowly missing National Finals qualification as well.
