Club Sponsored Bounceathon

Energetic members of sister trampolining and gymnastics clubs in Horley and Caterham enjoyed a bouncing bonanza which raised more than £1,000.

Members of Springfit in Horley and Pointers in Caterham, both part of the Saturn V Trampoline and Gymnastics Association, teamed up for a 24-hour bounceathon.

More than 100 club members took part in the event in Caterham.

Two trampolines were continuously in use in the sponsored fundraiser in aid of buying new equipment including pre-school gym soft play gear, and asymmetric and high bars.

Some of the gymnasts took on individual challenges too, including setting club records for moves and skills.

One coach achieved 4,000 consecutive back bounces over a 70-minute period at 4am.

Adam Reynolds of Springfit said: “Fundraising can have its challenges, but this event is by far the most challenging feat the clubs have ever attempted.”

He said: “There was a lot of positive feedback from beaming club members and families who came to show their support and help the teams out.

“The event ended with a roared countdown to a huge celebration by all those who had helped out.

“No doubt it was then followed by a long sleep for those who had been awake for around 36 hours.”

Well done to all involved from the team at Rainbow.
