🚨PLEASE READ🚨
Please read regarding gymnastics starting back!
We want to let you know the situation with the sports hall regarding the renovation work and the effect on our gymnastics classes.
A new roof was due to be constructed last summer but never happened. Work is now due to start on August 1st and should be completed by October 27th, weather permitting. The school are using the hall for exams from then until November 14th and again in February from the 5th to the 25th.
This restricts our classes to just four before Christmas and four or five in January/February.
We have asked the school if we could use the gymnasium but due to the holidays we have not had a reply as yet. If we can use it then class numbers will be restricted as the gym is smaller than the sports hall. This situation highlights the need for a sports hall in Porthcawl which is for clubs and the community. When the hall is used for exams the Badminton club have to go to Bryncethin and the gym club stops as there is no alternative venue. Admittedly this is an exceptional situation with the renovation. With all the development planned for Porthcawl and the increase in population a sports hall is badly needed.
Whenever we can start classes again priority will be given to children already enrolled and then we will see how many spaces there will be for children on the waiting list. We will contact you as and when we can offer your child a place.
Regards,
Pam and the coaches
