Cartwheel-A-Thon!

What the deuce is a Cartwheel-A-Thon?? Well... Its an 'a-thon' of cartwheels obviously, stupid.

The premise was simple. Gymnastics is expensive. Competitive gymnastics is even more expensive. Competitive Acrobatic Gymnastics is down right daylight robbery sometimes. Imagine a £50 note. Imagine a lighter. Put them together. Bam. You got the picture.

What do we do about this? Ask the gymnasts to do as many cartwheels as possible, aiming for a total 5000 within an hour, and collect sponsorship for this, to pay for the leotards, and subsidise choreography tuition, accommodation, travel (including flights, as we are regularly attending international comps now!) and the list goes on!

We completed this in STYLE. How many cartwheels you ask??

12,600.

Read that again.

I'll rewrite it because I know some of you are getting on a bit.

12,600!!!! (And we might have even missed a few).

Well done to ALL involved. We had parents and coaches contribute over 150 cartwheels to the total too!!

THANK YOU TO ALL YOU SPONSORS!!!
