We want an extension and we need your help!
For those who visit the gym frequently especially when the weather is nice, you will have seen our run up boxes set up outside the building, travelling almost out to the car park. This is because a full length competitive tumbling floor is actually around 40 metres long. A 25m track, 4m long landing zone and an 11m run up.
The length of the church hall is approximately 30m long, leaving us 10m short to fit the run up in. Now this is something we’ve obviously learned to overcome, you only need to look at our rich international history and results to see that not having a full set up has not stopped us. But as our humble gym grows bigger and with more and more students making it to Australian representation with each year, we’d really love to have this set up all year round. Not to mention as it is, our athletes are actually the ones that set up and pack away their own run up. What a novelty it would be not to have to do this. We also wouldn’t have to wait for good weather to have a run up. Just think….. it rains, no run up. It’s too cold, no run up. There’s fires or it’s scorching hot, no run up. As you can imagine, it’s not the most ideal preparation for a major event if you waiting on the weather to determine what you can do in training.
So, we’re on a mission to raise as much money as we can to help fund an extension. This extension would not only provide room for a run up, but it would also give us more room in the gym and for storage. Something that all club members can benefit from.
It’s our prediction that this build and all associated matters will cost somewhere between $70-90,000. So we’re calling on our community for help and support. If you or anyone you know owns a business that’s looking to donate to a local sporting club who’s taking on the world and doing great things, please share this with them. We have a range of sponsorship packages which can appeal to all types of businesses. For any businesses that come on board, we would be more than happy to promote their business in the gym, on social media and to our 320 families. We really want to turn this dream into a reality for our athletes.
