Lorrha Notes
Members of Midlands Gymnastics Club enjoyed success at the GymSTART Level 1 competition in the National Sports Arena in Dublin on March 10th. 57 of our recreational gymnasts took part in the competition bringing home many gold, silver and bronze medals. We are very proud of all our gymnasts and the great work they have put into their training. It is great to see all their hard work and dedication paying off. Also a big thanks to their parents for their continued support and encouragement. It is great to see our local club putting its name on the map. Well done to all!
