A famous olympic and Commonwealth gymnast is set to visit Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics Club this March, welcoming new gymnasts from across the community.

Alice Kinsella will be joining Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics Club, Camm Street, at their open house on Wednesday 20 March from 4:30pm to 5:30pm.

Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics Club opened over 40 years ago in 1980 by four parents.

Alice Kinsella will be joining Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics Club for their open evening from 4:30pm to 5:30pm, aimed at giving anyone in the community interested in trying the sport a chance to come along to a taster session (Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics Club).

Now based in Camm Street Centre, the 32,000-square-foot facility is opening its doors to encourage new members of the community to come and try gymnastics, no matter their age.

Home to Beth Tweddle MBE, when she first started in the sport, the charity-run organisation has a range of classes for all levels.

This includes men's and women's artistic, team gym and recreational gymnastics, offering a safe and friendly environment for everyone to learn, grow and most importantly, have fun.

Alice, 22, from Basildon, Essex, will be joining the club for their open evening, aimed at giving anyone in the community interested in trying the sport a chance to come along to a taster session.

Alice said: "I'm super excited to be visiting Crewe and Nantwich, finding out more about the club, seeing the gymnasts and hopefully encouraging new gymnasts to join.

"Gymnastics clubs are so important to the sport and to communities, they're a place where people of all ages and abilities can express themselves, learn new skills and most importantly have lots of fun.

Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics Club opened over 40 years ago in 1980 by four parents (Wiki Commons).

"I remember first starting in gymnastics and the feeling I had walking into the gym and just being amazed by everything.

"I hope my visit might inspire more people to get involved in the sport I live and can't wait to see everyone."

Alice's visit comes following a £22,000 Club Capital investment for the club.

Club Capital runs in partnership with British Gymnastics, providing simple, affordable, flexible loans to gymnastic clubs to support facility projects.

It allows clubs to move into new or expand or safeguard existing, dedicated gymnastics facilities.

British Gymnastics facilities manager, Neil Moulster, said: "Crewe and Nantwich is a fantastic community club demonstrating all that's great about gymnastics.

Alice Kinsella represnted Great Britain at the 2020 Summer Olympics and won a bronze medal in the team event (Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics Club).

"We were delighted to support them through our Club Capital investment to enable the club to welcome even more gymnasts and provide a facility open to all.

"We hope Alice's visit is a great celebration event for everyone at the club and just as importantly inspires people to come along and give gymnastics a first try."
