A host of British Gymnastics community heroes have been recognised and celebrated on Saturday 26th January, as they received a number of prestigious accolades at the 2019 British Gymnastics National Awards.

The awards, held at Birmingham Town Hall, acknowledge the outstanding achievements made by gymnasts, volunteers, coaches, clubs and community members across the country. Winners and recipients from grassroots to elite level were presented with their awards at the ceremony, which was hosted by the face of BBC Breakfast sport, Mike Bushell.

The National Award for Equality & Inclusion was won by Woking Gymnastics Club who have worked consistently in the community, providing additional opportunities for underrepresented groups.

All of our recreational gymnasts will be participating in badge testing during their normal weekly class between Monday 4th February and Friday 15th February 2019. Badge testing is a great opportunity for your gymnast to see how they have progressed. Each gymnast will be tested on the next level within our badge system, if they achieve 8 out of the 10 skills on an apparatus in the same level they will be eligible to receive a certificate. Once all 4 certificates have been achieved in the same level they will also be presented with their badge.
 
A copy of our badge system can be found on our website under recreational classes.
 
All children will be tested on 2 apparatus in the first week and 2 the second, please try and make sure they attends all of their usual sessions during badge testing to ensure they are tested on all 4 apparatus. Unfortunately if they are absent for a session during badge testing we cannot offer a makeup session.
 
During parents viewing weeks we will be giving out slips to all gymnast who have participated in badge testing. This will inform you if your child has passed a certificate. Should you wish to purchase any passed certificates please return the original slip along with payment of £1.00 per certificate to the desk. All certificates will be given out during the last week of term. Any remaining certificates will be available for collection from our reception desk.
