August Update
Hi guys,
I hope you are all having a great summer!
This is just a quick update going out to let you all know about our plans for the summer and carrying on into September.
If you have any questions on the following just let us know.
SUMMER CAMPS
We have had a great time on our Summer Camps!
We now only have FIVE places remaining for the rest of the summer, this is for Week Six August 6th - 9th so if you are interested in signing up please do so now as this is the last week with availability!
Summer Camp Registration Form
We have had a great few weeks, I have been delighted personally with the turnout and engagement each week. Our groups have really taken to the bars as you would expect and it has also been great to see a lot of new faces and the interaction between all groups. We look forward to seeing everyone else over the rest of the summer!
SEPTEMBER CLASSES
Just to clarify as people have been asking about our classes for September. People who are already registered with us do not need to worry about their place. You are already registered and everyone will just come back to the class they were in as normal - unless we have spoken about moving etc.
For anyone who has just joined over the summer and you are looking to register for September we will be releasing our registration forms mid way through August. It has been great to see the response from new participants over the summer and we are delighted to see that people are looking to continue learning with us.
In the next week or so we will be sending another email and this will have the registration form for classes in September*.
*If you are already a member, I.E in the classes before the summer break, you do not need to re-register.
PARENTS GUIDE
This is also just to inform everyone involved that in September we will be sending all of you a guidebook that will give specific information with regards to the class your child is in.
This guidebook will specifically show you what we are working at each stage or class so that you can see what we are trying to develop with each member of our club. I think this will be really useful and give you all, hopefully, a slightly better understanding of the sport and that you can see what we are trying to develop at each stage and show you our pathway towards developing each person in the sport.
As always if anyone has any questions on the above please just let us know.
Thanks,
Jamie
Summer Update
Hi guys,
We were delighted with the turnout for last weekends Bar Monkey EXPO! Just want to say a big thanks to everyone that was able to make it. I think everyone that was able to attend will agree that the kids who performed in our exhibition were brilliant!
I was very proud of all of them for managing to put on such a brilliant performance, and seeing all the work they put in to prepare. Anyone who has managed to see our exhibitions over the last couple of years will agree that the standard keeps improving every year, which as a club and for calisthenics overall is just brilliant to see, it is one of the main reasons I love what I do as I am always able to look forward and be really excited about the future of the sport and seeing how how our athletes continue to develop and push the sport even further.
I hope that everyone else that was involved on the day enjoyed themselves too and that they were really inspired by what they saw. That is a huge part of the day that makes it really important. We want the rest of our groups to see what level they can aspire to. For anyone involved in our classes what I really enjoy about these days for them is that they get to see another level, whereas in class they only see what they are currently practicing. These days give them a chance to see another level entirely within our sport and they get to see a load of new skills and tricks to hopefully motivate them to continue with their development.
I really hope everyone enjoyed the day!
SUMMER SCHEDULE
4-6 FUNdamentals and 11-14 Teen Programme
Throughout July and August we will be continuing our 4-6 class and 11-14 Teen class.
The timetable for this is as follows:
Monday
5-6PM: 4-6 FUNdamentals Programme
6-7PM: 11-14 Teen Programme
Wednesday
5-6PM: 4-6 FUNdamentals Programme
6-7PM: 11-14 Teen Programme
We have been updated by the majority of you in these classes about your schedule for the summer and availability. If either of these classes are something you would potentially be interested in or know someone who might be just let us know and we can give you some more information on them.
SUMMER CAMPS
We are delighted to announce our Summer Camps to you for this year!
They will take place in St.Columbanus Loughlinstown this year due to renovations taking place in Scoil Cholmcille, and we can't wait to get started with these!
We really enjoy the camps due to the extra time we get with each group, as they get to make new friends, we build better relationships with them and they become more invested in the club. It becomes more than just something they do. We also really enjoy giving them the opportunity to get more time to work on their skills.
