12 members of Baskerville's School of Gymnastics Boys Squad travelled as part of the South West squad to take part in the National Set work Finals in Newcastle. The weekend saw two competitions take place, the Club Grades and the Regional grades. In the club format there was an individual and team competition and at Regional Grades it was a team competition only. The South West has a history of being very successful at this event and expectations were very high.

 

Matthew Simonds and Harry Andrews both aged 10 were the first Baskerville's gymnasts to compete forming part of the South West Club Grades Level 2 team. Both boys put in very strong performances in a competition that saw 59 gymnasts compete over 7 apparatus. Matthew was the highest scorer from the South West finishing in a fantastic 13^th place overall. He particularly excelled on Rings where he was 5^th and Horizontal bar where he was 9^th. Harry demonstrated his ability by being the second highest scorer from the South West. Harry finished in 31^st place overall and followed Matthew in excelling on bar where he was 13^th. In the team event the South West team were unlucky to finish outside of the medals in 7^th place.

Baskerville's had two competitors in the Club Grades Level 4 South West team, Sean Madigan, 11, and Jacob Prescott, 12. Both boys had a god competition finishing in 3^rd and 4^th place respectively in the South West team. Sean finished in overall 26^th place and demonstrated considerable skill on the pommel horse where he was 9^th. Jacob excelled on vault where he scored a massive 9.700 to finish in 2^nd place on that piece. In the overall competition Jacob was 29^th. The South West team finished in 5^th place.

 

In the Regional Grades team competition Alex Weeks, 8, represented the South West at Level 1. The  team put in a strong performance and were very unlucky to finish just outside the medals in 4^th place. Alex put in a fine performance and was fantastic on both Horizontal bar and vault where he finished in 6^th and 7^th place respectively.

At Level 2 Regional Grades Toby Lewis, 9, and Daniel Cheung, 10, from Baskerville's represented the South West. This was a very strong competition and both boys put in key performances for the team. Daniel excelled on pommel horse, vault and physical preparation finishing in 6^th place on each of these pieces. Toby had a very impressive floor to finish in 6^th place and was also 8^th on vault and physical preparation. The South West team worked very well together with each team member contributing their best performances and the team were rewarded by winning the team silver medal.

In the Level 3 Regional Grades competition the South West team followed the silver medal won by the Level 2 team by winning a further team silver. Wilson Skyrme and Craig Hutchison from Baskerville's represented the South West. Wilson had a very good vault finishing 6^th but it was on horizontal bar where he excelled finishing in 3^rd place. Craig's best piece was pommel horse where he demonstrated his talent to finish in 4^th place.

At the Level 4 Regional Grades competition Harry Wall, Jake Morris and George Brown from Baskerville's represented the South West. The South West team worked very hard to win the team bronze medal. Harry was the South West's highest scorer performing best on pommel horse where he completed a near faultless routine to finish in 2^nd place. Jake was consistent over all pieces competed performing best on pommel horse where he was 9^th. George was coming back from injury and had a fantastic vault to finish 3^rd on that piece.

 

 

It was a very successful weekend for the South West and the gymnasts from Baskerville's made up a very strong contingent by being the club with the highest number of gymnasts selected for the team.

 

 

Gala fun at Baskerville's School of Gymnastics

 

The annual Christmas Gala took place at Baskerville's School of Gymnastics over the weekend of 12^th and 13^th December 2008 With three performances over two days the gymnasts and their coaches had been working hard in recent weeks to perfect their routines. The gymnasts ranged from pre school children who were performing in their first gala to gymnasts who had competed in the British Championships 2008. There was even a masked performance from the coaching staff which provided much entertainment as the audience had to work out who was the dancers behind the masks. 

 

The gala began with all participating children performing a warm up routine together to “run run Rudolph” which got the audience into the festive spirit. The preschool gymnasts and beginners squads performed a beautiful routine as elves and the elite recreational class demonstrated their vaulting expertise and danced with scarves. Vicky's Tuesday class and Thursday class each performed their routines all dressed for winter in gloves and hats.

There were individual floor routines performed by Lottie Tugwell, Thomas Paradise, Nancy Hunt, Ludwig Rosenow, Megan Norman, William Osborne, Katie Kinnear, George Brown, Clara Whitely, Alex Weeks, Lizzie Franklin and Ali Whitehead. The annual Gymnast of the Year award was won by 11 year old Harry Wall for his fantastic achievement in becoming Under 12 British Champion on Pommel Horse. Harry and  his team mates George Brown and Jake Morris who also competed at British Championships performed an apparatus routine with the boys performing on rings, high bar and mushroom.

 

The Development Girls were all in red performing their Christmas routine. The Girls Squad performed a routine to Katy Perry's “Hot 'n' Cold” whereas the Competition Girls became Pussycat Dolls dancing to “When I grow up” and the Senior Competition Girls demonstrated their rendition of “Mamma Mia”. The Boys General, Competition and Development Squads became kung fu experts and the Boys Elite Squad performed their adaptation of Swan Lake with the Junior Squad as frogs and the seniors as swans. The gala concluded in true style with the team tumble which saw boy and girl gymnasts performing together in a demonstration of their tumbling skills in a criss cross formation. This somersaulting spectacular rounded off not only a fantastic show but also a very successful year for the gymnasts who will in January training hard to ensure that 2009 is even more successful.

BASKERVILLE'S BOYS HELP SOMERSET TO MEDAL SUCCESS.

 

The annual South West Intercounties floor and vault competition took place in Plymouth on 16^th November 2008. Gymnasts from Baskerville's featured strongly in the Somerset teams and had a very impressive day.

 

In the Under 10 team Craig Hutchison, Wilson Skyrme, Conna Webb, Harry Andrews and Daniel Cheung made up the Somerset team. All five gymnasts train at Baskerville's School of Gymnastics. The boys competed to a very high standard to win the team silver medal, closely behind Devon.

Toby was Somerset's best performer and competed an excellent floor routine which was the 3^rd = highest in the competition and he placed 8^th in the overall individual competition, a particularly impressive feat as Toby is only 9 years old and competing against gymnasts 3 years his senior.

George was Somerset's front runner finishing in 4^th place in the overall competition. George was also 4^th each individual piece. Anders had a good competition to finish in 13^th place overall, his best piece was vault where he was 7^th.

The Somerset Open team saw the return of some of Baskerville's older gymnasts.
