Our British Gymnastics Ceremonies Team
Early in 2012 we received a telephone call from British Gymnastics asking if we would like to be the medal ceremonies team for the British Championships in Liverpool that year........ we said yes and things have developed from there........
From a team of 8 we now have 26 girls & boys who work with the Events Team and volunteer for British Gymnastics at some of their most prestigious events.
2020
Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our Ceremonies team have only been able to fulfil one of their events so far this year, at The Pat Wade Acrobatic in Fenton. The Events Team at BG will keep us up to date as to when our next event will be.
A new recruit to the team
The BG Events Managers, approached us and asked if it would be possible to include boys in our team for ceremonies. We said we had the perfect person back at our gym, Thomas Cannon. Thomas stepped out onto the ceremonies stage at the Adults British Championships at Lilleshall and did an amazing job. He will be seen in his suit and tie at more events in the future.
Junior Team
As we knew that 2017 was going to be another busy year for our Ceremonies Team, we recruited a Junior team who did a fantastic job..... and still do!
The World Gymnastics Championships, Glasgow 2015
When I got the call it still didn't seem real.... BG have asked us to be the Ceremonies team at the World Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow!!... was the call I was making to the team. This still didn't seem real when we were
watching highlights back on TV at Christmas but it was and it was the most emotional, crazy, action packed, energy draining, adrenalin pumping experience the team and myself would ever experience but most of all it was what dreams were made of, a truly memorable experience.
Here is the link to the report by Andrew Simpson, Seniior Sports Editor from The Guardian newspaper, who followed us throughout the event....
