Using funds raised by the Rotary Shop in Penzance, Mounts Bay Rotary has a policy of supporting local community groups and charities. Recently we were able to support yet another worthwhile and important local organisation: The Penzance Gymnastics Club. The club has over 500 members and provides classes for locals of all ages, ranging from toddlers to adults – even septuagenarians I was told!
The pandemic meant that the club was forced to curb its activities for a long period of time, and lost part of its premises as a result. However, the lifting of restrictions means that the club has been able to re-start its work. With the help of a local builder, they have created a custom-made foam pit (an important and popular piece of equipment). We were delighted to help them with a cheque to fill the pit with purpose-built gym pit foam logs, manufactured to the highest specifications!
