Cartoon Capers Videos & Feedback

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:15:02 +0000

Good morning lovely parents from an exhausted team at MK Springers. Your children were just fantastic on Saturday!

We would be grateful for any good video or photo footage from Saturday’s display, including crowd shots. As our coaches were all fully occupied we did not really get the chance to capture many images. Please copy it to a DVD and hand it to your child’s coach. you can email 1 or 2 photos to us. We hope to use selected bits on this website and show in the parents’ waiting area.

In the meantime thank you for the following comments:

“I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say that the show was fantastic. It was really well organised and I’m sure a lot of hard work put in to pull a show together like that so well. Nothing but praise from all the parents I talked to so very well done to everyone involved” Andrea

“Shannon loved Saturday night, she has been raving on about it. Thank you all so much. Good show too, really enjoyed that too, wow ! the MK Springer’s are really fantastic ” Burti

“Hi – My two girls…following the show are interested in doing’more time’ at gymnastics …by the way the show was brilliant, thank you, and the tumblers were spellbinding“ Kimberly

“Really impressed with the show on Saturday, it was great!” – Andrea

Tickets are now available for “Cartoon Capers” our first annual display involving all our gymnasts from every location. It will be held at 16-17 Carters Lane Kiln Farm.

Please note all classes on Saturday morning will run as normal ie Little Springers and General Springers Classes. Classes from 12.00pm onwards are cancelled

There will be two performances on the day, the first being at 12.00pm and the second at 3.00pm. We expect each performance to last about 2 hours. Tickets cost £4 each and there is limited availability. Children who are taking part in the display will of course gain free admission and will need to be there from 10.00am for dress rehearsal. Other children will be allowed in for free, but will be allocated a separate area to sit in (probably on benches or mats). If you wish your child to sit with you on their own seat, then you must pay £4 for their place. They can sit on your lap for free.

Clikk here to book your tickets for the performance and sleepover.

Tickets are now on sale in Kiln Farm Gym. They will also be made available in The Willison Centre on Friday (ask Sarah), Tickford Park on Saturday(Ask Jenny) and Oakgrove on Monday (Ask Laura)
