Each year we take part in local carnivals, either Hazel Grove or in
more recent years, Stockport. The float is decorated on the morning of the procession and
filled with gymnasts from the recreational club and the elite squad.
There is usually a theme; in 2002 it was the Commonwealth Games an easy one to
do was the Circus. The highlight
of the parade is to see the gymnasts tumbling through the streets. In 2002 we
won the best dressed float. We have missed a couple
of years, one due to the weather and the second as we has to be very careful
with insurance these days and we were unable to get the necessary cover in place
in time. We were back in 2005.
