Saturn V Month / Month Newsletter

Twice a year, all Saturn V gymnasts put on a class display and parents are invited. The purpose of this is to give parents the opportunity to see how their children are progressing and for children to have the experience of performing in front of an audience. After each class display, the gymnast who, in the opinion of the coaches, has made the most progress since the last display is presented with a medal. Medal winners for December's class displays were
De Stafford branch:
Mondays 5.30: Ellie Owen
Monday 6.30: Daisy Roadnight
Wednesday 4.00: Sasha Breen
Wednesday 5.00: Kaitlyn Galvin
Wednesday 6.00: Kerry Hollands
Springfit, Horley:
Bethani Harrison, Toni Jupp, Georgia Banner and Lydia Mayne
Congratulations to all. Here are their pictures:

The next gymnastic class displays are scheduled for the beginning of July.

Recent Competitions

Trampolinists from Saturn V’s branches in Caterham, Horley, Oxted, Hurst Green, Reigate, Warlingham, Coulsdon and Selsdon, all met at Moor House School in Hurst Green on Saturday 3^rd November for the club’s triennial inter-club trampolining competition. As always, the viewing balcony was packed with parents and family keen to watch their children perform and they were not disappointed. All the children performed two routines to the very best of their ability in front of a panel of judges. There were 5 categories in the competition ranging from novices (SDF grade 5) to the more advanced SDF grade 10. There was also a synchro category; where two children perform a synchronized routine on different trampolines. When performed accurately (as was the case at this competition) synchro routines look spectacular. All competitors received a certificate of achievement for entering and medals were awarded for high scorers in each category. Pictured here are the medal winners, from top left to bottom right:
Oliver Riley, Samantha Christien, Lily Fairhall, Tyla Burgess, Kirsty Munns, Ellie Stevens, Katherine Hodge, Ellie Gauge, Mia Marett-Gregory.

Gymnasts from Caterham and Horley competed in the “Saturn V” Inter Club Floor and Vault competition held at the Keys Centre in Horley on Saturday 17^thNovember.There were two age categories: 9 years and under, and 10 years and over.
The gymnasts performed, in front of a panel of judges, an exacting floor to music, consisting of 10 gymnastic elements linked together with dance moves.They also performed two vaults each. Medals were awarded for third, second and first places in both categories and for both events.The competition inspired some exceptional performances and, as always, produced some very proud parents.
Pictured here are all the medal winners, from top left to bottom right: Megan Davies, Daisy Roadnight, Francesca Bagley, Danielle Minter, Michela Cooper, Louisa Del Maschio, Holly Bird and Abbie Clifton.

The first ever school's trampoline competition run as a partnership between the Saturn V Gym Club and the ESSSP (East Surrey Schools Sport Partnership) took place on Friday 14th December at Moor House School in Hurst Green.

The interst in this competition was very pleasing and all available places were quickly reserved. Students from Warwick, Beacon, Woodcote and Archbishop Tenisons all booked early and took part. Entrants were received for all grades from Grade 8 (beginner) to A3 (advanced.)

Organiser, Paul Kaye, said, "Saturn V have been organising club competitions for 16 years and we have always strived to run the events in a professional manner whilst providing a welcoming and friendly environment for the children. We were very pleased when we were approached to run the schools' competitons along similar lines."

Star coaches

Congratulations to the following Saturn V coaches who have passed coaching exams recently:
Kim Selsby has passed the grade 2 trampoline coaching exam,
Marie Clark has passed the grade 2 gymnastics coaching exam
Chris Bower has passed the grade 1 gymnastics coaching exam

Jumping for Charity

10 Saturn V coaches have agreed to perform a sponsored parachute jump in aid of the Chase Hospice for life-limited children. The organisation exists to provide help and support to families with children who are not expected to reach their 19th birthday. The jump will take place on 2nd March 2008 in Maidstone.
If you would like to sponsor any of the coaches, please contact the office.
How else can we help? When you grow out of your club leotard or fleece, don't throw it away. Ask your coach to offer it for sale to someone in the club who is not able to buy a new one. Secondhand club clothing always gets snapped up. The coach can then give the money to the association treasurer (Shirley) who will send it to Chase.

It can't have been on the rebound!

On 24th November, at Caterham Methodist Church, Paul and Shirley got married. The best man was their 8 year old son Jamie. The witnesses were Paul’s 23 year old daughter Lois, and Shirley’s 22 year old daughter Marie.The reception was held at the Good Companions restaurant in Warlingham, and, in a reversal of traditional roles, was organised by Lois (Paul’s daughter) who is a manager there. The cake – in the shape of a trampoline of course – was made by a Saturn V coach; Beverley Hollands who is also a professional cake maker. When asked why they have finally got round to getting married after all these years, Paul said, “All the traditional reasons of course, but also we didn’t want to be unmarried grandparents.”

Paul and Shirley would like to thank all their coaches and friends for all their good wishes – many of which were along the lines of, “about time too” and “is there a tax advantage then?!”
