Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

We wish you all the best in 2017!

January Acro Training Schedule

Here is the January training schedule for Acrobatic Gymnastics at the Oakville Gymnastics Club.

Please note that the Gymnastics Ontario Intermediate Acro Training Camp that was planned for the 21st has been postponed.  A new date will be scheduled later in the year.

Remember that our 1st Ontario Cup will be in Ottawa in February.  The competition will take place at the Olympia Gymnastics, 44 Iber Road, Ottawa on February 18th and 19th, 2017.  Please make hotel reservations in Ottawa for that weekend as soon as you can.  That weekend is the final weekend of Ottawa's Winterlude so finding a hotel may be challenging.  You may not need to stay in a hotel once the schedule is out but best to make reservations and be able to cancel them if you don't need to stay over.  A competition schedule with specific times for each partnership to compete will not be available until likely a week or two before the competition.  The Oakville Gymnastics Club doesn't stay in one hotel together.  It is up to families to find their own accommodations and travel arrangements.

Rattle Snake Point Golf Club, 

5407 Regional Road 25, Milton, ON

from 5:30pm to 10:30pm

Cheese, Chocolate and Honey Fundraiser

It's that time of year again: Holiday Fundraising. Last year our Cheese, Chocolate and Honey Fundraiser was a huge success. We hope you all participate.  These items make great holiday gifts or items to bring to a holiday party.

We will be handing out fundraising forms this week to all of our acrobats.  Please share this fundraiser with your extended family, neighbors, teachers and friends. Feel free to post on Facebook as well.

Who doesn't like cheese?  Or chocolate? Or Honey?
