Victoria Day Weekend

Note: Ont the Victoria Day weekend we will be running regular Sunday classes as the gym club is still open.  The Monday the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre will be closed so we will be closed on that day.  Please let your coach know if you will be away that weekend.  If there are only a few bodies that will be around for class then we may combine groups.  We will let you know closer to that weekend.

OGC Interclub Competition May 15th

Please note that on May 15th we will be hosting our INTRAclub competition for our Developmental groups.  No other clubs will be invited to this event just our OGC Developmental Groups will be participating.  The gym will still be open and other classes will be taking place.  As per usual the athletes will compete down in the gym and be marched up through the crowds of adoring fans and awards will be distributed in the viewing area.  Registration is $5 per developmental athlete as we need to cover costs for judges and awards.  Please speak with Amanda and Kelsey regarding this competition.  More information will follow.

Acro Gala Performance by the OGC Tumblers

On May 14th the OGC will be hosting the Acrobatic Gymnastics Spring Gala Performance.  We have invited the tumblers to put on a 5 minute tumbling demonstration show.  All tumblers from the OGC program who are capable of doing round-off, back handspring, back tuck are invited to be part of the demo.  The demo will be performed in our OGC competitive leotard/singlet and shorts.  The group will meet on May 14th at 5:00pm to put together the demo and prepare for the show that starts at 7:00pm that evening.  Athletes who participate in this demo will be expected to stay from 5:00 until 9:00pm when the Gala show is over. 

The Gala will include acrobatic gymnastics, tumbling, artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, and circus performances.  It should be a very entertaining evening.  There will be an admission charge to get into see the show.  We hope everyone can attend.

If your tumbler wishes to participate please let Don know via email as soon as possible.
