Finally, after many prob­lems, issues and delays we have the new boiler installed and work­ing! Yipee!

The radi­a­tor in the wait­ing room now works well and we have a new, lager (remote-controlled  — steady now!)  heater in the warm-up room replac­ing two old ones.

Well done to Kate for relent­lessly chas­ing up every­one to get this finished.

We recently pur­chased a new shinny bar so that we can utilise the A-Bars as an extra strap bar sta­tion giv­ing us 3 in total. Being A-Bars, we can choose whether we want the high or low bar sta­tion as well! With 3 pos­si­ble sta­tions this give us more options for shar­ing appa­ra­tus with boys and girls or Rec. and Elite squads.

Also acquired was a new Foam floor beam to extend the one we already have allow­ing the girls to prac­tice com­plex com­bi­na­tions safely at floor level.
