Student Geoff Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Gary just noticed your reference to the Orford Park Project - will it include an update about when we can expect to see a gymnasium emerging at last in a Town of very talented gymnastics? I only ask because Eric was asking if I knew last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Doesn't mention gymnastics as we were talking football and rugby - but IF it does get the green light it is looking to embrace the whole community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Geoff Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 That's a disgrace - the gym club were promised a GYM - many years ago on that site - it was in the original plans - we are talking about the extension of the Collegiate Complex aren't we? Plus is there any mention of reloacating the Fordtron facilities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Geoff - read my response properly before you post such outbursts. I said the gym wasn't mentioned because we were talking about football and rugby. I did not say there were no plans for gymnastics. It just wasn't discussed in the interview I arranged to talk about rugby, which also linked in with football with the Wolves links with Liverpool and mine at Warrington Town.

Student Geoff Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 So Gymnastics may just maybe still in the scheme of things as far as the Orford Project goes? I only say this because over the years they have been promised this and that and nothing has been delivered. Apologies for miss-reading your post above but is there any chance that you might included in a future interview a chat with Eric Bibby (Warrington Gymnastics Club) along with some other minority sports that do so well for Warrington on the National and International stages?

Student Geoff Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Gary I've looked on the main web site Orford Park Project and still can't find any mention of gymnastics. I've sent them an email just in case I've missed the reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Geoff.... Probably be missed out.... if it isn't anything to do with bloody Football and Rugby, most don't want to know. I really dispair about this country hiolding the Olympic Games in a few years. It will probably be the first time in history that the host country doesn't win anything!!

milly Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Maybe the GYM is to be incorporated into the flexible community space or the dance studio? Although they might be expected to use a pitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeL Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Gary, reading the update with regards to the Orford Park project, i see that it is being led by The Warrington Borough Council in partnership with TONP (The Orford Neighbourhood Project), So "if" a gymnasium were to be on the agenda for the project, would i be right to assume that it would be a council funded/run gym, leaving it open to children from all social backgrounds... Or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 There are a large number of community partners in the project including The Wolves, Warrington Town, Warrington Collegiate the North West Development Agency e.t.c. The aim is to provide facilities for the whole community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Geoff, Ring TONP on 232030 and see if they can point you in the right direction. I think they are still on that number. They are moving shop, but not sure when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Geoff Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Cheers Pete I've left a message for them to ring me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Geoff Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well unfortunately Gymnastics is no longer part of the project - it's a shame considering the wealth of talent that exists within and around the Town and the great success that they achieve.
