The filming of Lindsay happened on a very cold Saturday with Garden Productions in charge. All went well, gymnasts behaved and stretched nicely. All good fun.

Good luck to Lindsay, only 5 weeks to go.

Look out for the programme when it is on the BBC. The working title is Midwives.

An independent TV company is filming a programme, working title Midwives, which is following specialised midwives as they go about their duties. It will be shown on the BBC.

They are following one of our 2 piece coaches, Lindsay Humphreys, and as part of the show they are following her around looking at all of the things she would normally do and coaching is one of her many activities. They will be in the gym on Saturday morning, 4th February. There will be permission forms for parents to fill in if you are going to be filmed. Don't worry, there are no huge trucks full of equipment and lights, ladies running round doing make up. With modern equipment it will be a producer and a camera man. Should still be fun.

Day 1 was for grade 13s and 14s. Always going to be difficult to shine due to the rule changes, but looks like it was a good day. Under the 2011 rules all 4 of the grade 14 gymnasts would have reached the finals, but with the 2012 rules none of them did. Well done Charlotte Cleaver, bronze medal for Range and Conditioning.

Gymnasts had a great day, all passed and we had 4 distinctions. Still waiting for photos.
