Within Sussex it remains just the two clubs taking part in festivals events, Dysons & Chichester.

Dysons attended the BG gala this year at the artistic championships and sadly due to a run of injured gymnasts was unable to perform as planned but enjoyed watching the other World Gymnaestrada clubs performing and of course the artistic championships itself.

Both clubs are due to attend Gymnasia in Birmingham this month with Dysons performing one routine and Chichester performing three.

For Chichester the next plans after that are to do the London Gymnastics Festival in Brentwood again. The team absolutely loved it last year and was their favourite event alongside Disney in 2022. If they get a big enough team, the plan for 2025 is to do Disney! Additionally Chichester has recently added events at the Blackpool tower and GymStarz in London to their itinerary this year.

Dysons are looking to take part in GymFusion near the end of the year as another chance to practice one of the 5 plus routines they will be taking to the competitive event of Gymnastique Magique in Disneyland Paris in 2025 in Disneyland Paris.

Both clubs would appreciate the chance to perform at county events to help them practice for bigger events so please do let us know if you have an event coming up that would benefit from some entertainment (perhaps while judges are sorting final positions), for a festival routine the only requirement is a full sized floor space.
