Foreword

Time flies by so quickly, and here we are celebrating yet another fantastic year within Welsh Gymnastics. Thank you to all who have supported us, especially in the preparations for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

The last 12 months saw some astonishing results. These fantastic outcomes bode well for the forth-coming Games, helping to showcase gymnastics as a sport to youngsters across Wales. Helen Phillips It is no exaggeration to say that without the continued support of Chair

Welsh gymnastic clubs large and small, and all our members, we at the hub of Welsh Gymnastics would be unable to progress our sport. Development and support of gymnastics at a ‘grass roots’ Board Members level is of paramount importance to us. We have successfully implemented nation-wide infrastructures to enable the continued Technical Director growth of gymnastic clubs across Wales, with better financial Andrew Morris support and training available to further secure the future of the Membership Director sport and the physical literacy of our nation. Dorothy Neyland MBE

Sport Wales have once again proved invaluable in helping Finance Controller us to develop our aspirations, with financial support allowing David Vickery us to continue our relations with many partners, including Development Director Local Authorities, and other dynamic organisations such as Elaine McNish the Urdd, The Rotary and the NSPCC. Legal Director

Tracey Singlehurst-Ward 2014 is of course a Commonwealth year, with staff and volunteers at Welsh Gymnastics working exceptionally hard to Development Director increase our chances of medal success at Glasgow. Our Barbara Beedham coaches have continued to work closely with our elite gymnasts, sharing their highs and lows as they prepare them for this prestigious event. Our young gymnasts too have shouldered their portion of responsibility, training harder than ever.

As one of the leading sports in Wales, Welsh Gymnastics is enjoying a resurgence of interest, partly due to the 2012 London Olympic legacy. Our ambition is to create our own Commonwealth Legacy. Our club mascot, Gymbach the dragon, has proved especially popular as a media campaign to drum up support for gymnastics and the Welsh Team.

With so many exciting developments in their infancy, and others that are starting to impact our legacy, we hope that this report will allow you to grasp what has happened in the past 12 months. The profile of our amazing sport has unarguably risen across the whole of Wales, and we are absolutely committed to continue to develop, support and oversee the continuing success of gymnastics at club and elite levels for many, many years to come.

Chief Executive Report

The last 12 months have all been about preparation. Preparation for the pinnacle of our work in Welsh Gymnastics - the Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014, preparation for the growth and sustainability of our Sport through ambitious workforce development projects , and preparation for the future by attracting more children and young people to Gymnastics in Wales.

The journey to Glasgow has brought smiles and tears – but with the fantastic support of Sport Wales, the tireless work of our coaches, performance team and partners we have prepared to the best of our ability. There have been notable successes this year with many gymnasts taking British Titles across our disciplines and the profile of our gymnasts is higher than ever. Rhian Gibson It has been a great team effort in securing dedicated training Chief Executive, Welsh Gymnastics facilities and the best athlete support.

We invested greater time and effort in the Welsh Championships in 2014 for Men and Women’s Artistic Gymnastics and Rhythmic Gymnastics and worked in closer partnership with the Technical Committees to deliver fabulous events that showcased the talent and standard of Gymnastics in Wales.

Many of our projects and plans have already delivered positive outcomes. Our membership is higher than ever - with over 15,500 gymnasts, coaches and officials choosing to be part of our Sport. Thousands more are participating all over Wales. We have increased the number of our clubs to 94 with 55 satellite clubs as part of our structure. Welsh Gymnastics Development Team worked hard in supporting and strengthening the club structures through business initiatives and introducing more social enterprise models.

We are now strengthening our work with communities who do not naturally gravitate towards our Sport through projects with Ethnic Communities and outreach work in the field of Disability Gymnastics and in Community First Areas. All these areas are demonstrating growth and engagement. As an organisation we achieved the Bronze Insport Standard, Level 3 Safeguarding and are working towards the Equality Intermediate Standard. But most importantly a greater number of children are reaping the benefits of our Sport. Welsh Gymnastics is “where Sport begins” and our role in the field of physical literacy is key to development of children in Wales.

One of the most important developments this year was working with British Gymnastics to produce a “Working Partnership Agreement.” For the first time there are clear roles, responsibilities and financial procedures. This had led to significant improvement to the work of both organisations as well as benefits for clubs and members

WG has worked closely with the Welsh Language Commission and the Urdd in strengthening the prominence and use of the language both practically and corporately demonstrated by this Annual Report which is fully bilingual for the first time.

The Olympics delivered a great legacy for Gymnastics, we are determined that the Legacy of the Commonwealth Games will be even greater. A new Men’s Artistic Development Plan is up and running, there are more clubs and coaches able to deliver Rhythmic Gymnastics and Gymbach our Commonwealth Club Mascot travelled the length and breadth of Wales to gather momentum and support for the Glasgow Games and beyond.

It has been a great 12 months – but none of the above would have happened without the commitment, hard work and passion of our volunteers, to whom we are eternally grateful. And over the next months we vow to continue to support our workforce and gymnasts to create the best future for the best Sport in the World – Gymnastics.

Performance &

Excellence Report

The performance team with 8 full time staff is focusing primarily on the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and achieving our ambitious targets. Plans and preparations have been thorough; selections have been intense and closely fought. This is the biggest and strongest team Welsh Gymnastics has selected across the 3 disciplines – 5 men’s artistic, 5 women’s artistic, 3 rhythmic.

In addition to this, all disciplines of Welsh Gymnastics, within the performance area, continue to improve on standards and either maintain or improve on results each year. To sustain Jo Coombs this each of the technical committees charged with developing Head of Performance and Excellence the discipline are working hard to establish clear structures which will move their discipline forward.

A podium place at every international event

Between April 2013 and March 2014 Wales participated in 15 international events across 6 disciplines – Acrobatic, Aerobics, Men’s Artistic, Rhythmic, Trampolining and Women’s Artistic. Podium places were achieved at 13 of the 15 events (87%); reaffirming from last year the potential these disciplines show in achieving the target of a podium place at every international event by 2020.

In addition Rhythmic, Trampolining and Women’s Artistic had gymnasts represent GB at high level international events including Rhythmic World Cups, Trampoline Junior Europeans and Women’s Artistic GB internationals, World Cup and Junior European Championships, where for the first time in history team silver was achieved.

At senior British Championship level, Wales continues to make its mark. Medals in the Commonwealth disciplines were achieved in both Rhythmic and Women’s Artistic. Laura Halford took both the 2013 and 2014 All-around Rhythmic British title and Lizzie Beddoe took gold on the Floor at the 2014 Artistic British. In both cases, many more gymnasts made apparatus finals in a very strong field.

Here is a snapshot of successes of how we are surpassing our ‘more medals’ targets. Further results are detailed within each technical committee report.

In October 2013, the WG Development Team hatched a Commonwealth Games Engagement Campaign led by a Club Mascot - a friendly dragon called Gymbach. The aim of the “Welsh Gymnastics Commonwealth Club Relay” was to captivate and encourage children to participate in the sport of gymnastics, and also to act as a publicity campaign drumming up interest in the Commonwealth Games. Clubs were also given Commonwealth Games bunting, support banners and mementos of Gymbach’s visits. A Welsh flag and Commemorative book were taken to the clubs and signed by the children as tokens of good luck, to be presented to the Welsh Gymnastics Commonwealth Team.

Social Media Networks such as Twitter and Facebook were used to share information. Gymbach has his own blog on the WG website. Gymbach currently has 250 followers.

The response to the Commonwealth Club Relay was excellent with over 50 clubs taking part in the campaign. Children responded by holding their own pre-visit campaigns, with drawing competitions, cake-baking and other activities.
