The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow during the summer achieved outstanding and memorable successes for the England Gymnastics Team. Men’s and Women’s Artistic Teams and Individuals took medals with the final haul being 19 in total : 9 Gold - 5 Silver - 5 Bronze. In September, the 2014 UK School Games took place in Manchester and again both the England Men’s and Women’s Artistic Teams dominated with a total medal haul of : 10 Gold - 5 Silver - 5 Bronze. In November, the Bronze and Silver Women’s Artistic Championships took place at New College, Leicester for the second year running. This event proved again to be extremely popular, with over 240 gymnasts competing in this extended 2-day event. The 2015 Competition will again be held over two days on 7th and 8th November 2015, at New College, Leicester. As mentioned in the last Newsletter, the 2015 English Championships for Men’s & Women’s Artistic is moving to a new venue at Loughborough University in Leicestershire. This event will be held from 13th – 15th March 2015. In a recent article produced by the University, Sam Oldham – who recently joined their Loughborough Students Gymnastics Club, was quoted as saying: “The English Artistic Championships next year are very significant. We have our Europeans in April and the English Championships are one of only two trials we have, so our results there directly reflect on whether we get selected for the GB Team.” Dates for English Championships in other Disciplines, will be published on the English Gymnastics Website (www.englishgymnastics.org.uk) as soon as they become available. Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the English Gymnastics Association, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Successful New Year.
