Gym clubs celebrates 20th birthday
11:16am Sunday 5th October 2008
Tumbling tots enjoyed a picnic in the park last weekend when a gymnastics club celebrated its 20th birthday.
TJs Gymnastics Club in Wimbledon, which runs 23 classes a week, has more than 400 members aged one to 17 - but focuses on sessions for pre-school children.
“Everyone knows everyone - I’ve taught children who grew up through the club and are now off to university.”
Gill Humby
Members and their families gathered at Garfield Park on Saturday for a special party to celebrate the milestone.
Founder Gill Humby said the success of the Kohat Road club was down to the friendliness of its members and teachers.
Ms Humby, who now lives near Guildford, said: “Everyone knows everyone - I’ve taught children who grew up through the club and are now off to university.”
