THANKS to one and all

leave a comment »

Meet Director Dave Adlard would like to thank everyone who participated in the 2009 Great West Gym Fest. Thanks to the parents for supporting their wonderful child athletes in this, the most challenging sport in the world.

Thanks to the organizing committee who work so hard to add more “nice” touches to this competition than any other you will attend this season.

And thanks to the athletes, especially those crazy Canadians who must try to change their routines around to compete under J.O. rules.

Hope to SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.
