January 2017 closures

Leisure centre closure – Entering the gym

Wednesday 4th – Sunday 8th January 2017, access to the Academy will be via the outside steps/ pathway route to the left of the leisure centre. If you have a pushchair or wheelchair, you may have some difficulties accessing the gym as this pathway involves steps. Apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Essential maintenance works – 9^th Jan to 13^th Jan

Monday 9th – Friday 13th January 2017, NGA will be closed for work on the utilities to be carried out. The essential maintenance works, unfortunately cannot be avoided as we become a self-sufficient unit due to the closure of the Leisure Centre. There will be no Gfa adult’s sessions on these dates.

During the first two weeks of January, building work will be taking place to create a new entrance to the Academy through the middle of the Leisure Centre. We are hopeful that the new entrance will be available for use when the gym will re-open on Saturday 14th January 2017, and training will re-commence as per normal.

We shall keep all members posted if the works are to finish any different to planned.

Thank you for your patience during these closures and we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New

Kind regards,

Jack Duggan

Well done to the GFA competitive groups who attended the GFA County Four Piece competition on 27.11.16. Your coaches are very proud and still buzzing after some brilliant results.

Jake Molyneux came 2nd in Primay 1, 10 yrs, with a score of 31.65 and a very neat floor routine. Wade Shaw came 4th in Primary 1, 11yrs, with a score of 29.9, after only a short preparation time for the competition learnt all routines. Finally Lamarlie Rainey came 1st in Primary 1, 11yrs, after a beautiful p/bar routine.

The afternoon saw the C1 girls compete.

In the Advanced, 10yrs category, Jemima O'Neill placed 1st, with a fantastic score of 33.6 and a beautifully executed beam routine.

Lauren Schroeder-Paterson came 8th in Advanced, 14yrs plus, at her first ever artistic competition, scoring 30.15. Lucy Jones Came joint 1st, scoring 34.35, and giving a fabulous dance performance on floor.

In the Advanced Plus, 9 and 10yrs category, Honey Farnsworth scored 30.4 and came 3rd, with a strong vault performance, and Olivia Gladstone came 2nd scoring 30.75 after a wonderful somi in her floor routine.
