HISTORY

The Club was initially formed by Bob Cooper in 1986 as part of Spelthorne Gymnastics Club operating in Ashford High School. In 1990, with the help of RMC Group Services, Spelthorne Borough Council and Surrey Playing Fields, the Club moved to a new purpose built premises behind Brooklands College (Ashford campus.)

Since that date, the Club has moved from strength to strength and currently boasts several World champions at Senior and Junior level, as well as numerous International and National champions.
