Meeting time on Sat at 9am on Sat for performers (Gym Fest)

After last night's meeting, we were informed that the meeting time for participants on Saturday has to be 9am as they need to rehearse for all the contingents, which involves near 600 participants.
The Opening is from 2 pm to 4 pm. Break for lunch and make up is 11 am to 1pm.
For Sunday, I've sought SG personnel's understanding that it's too long hours for our girls to stay for the Night Gala, so we are excused. However, all participants are highly encouraged to stay on to watch if they can.  


 

update on Asian Gymnaestrada

I've just received an email stating that all participants will need to be present for the Opening Ceremony and the Gala Performance on top of our performance item. So, a breakdown on the details as below:

2 Nov Sat, 2 pm - 3.30 pm: Opening Ceremony (which all participants will need to march in for the ceremony) Lunch will be provided for this day. I've yet to get confirmation on the time we need to report. My estimation is about 12pm. There are performances from 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm. However, if parents have other commitments, I think parents have the right to pick your child up after 3.30 pm. Please inform me on that day.

3 Nov Sun, 2 pm - 4 pm: Our performance slot. Lunch provided. Again, I estimated that we should meet at the venue at about 12 pm. Our item number is #25. I'm attending another meeting on Thursday evening to iron out the exact meeting venue and  time. I'll inform all via this blog and when I see the girls on Friday's practice.
3 Nov Sun, 7 pm - 8.30 pm: Gala Performance.  There is a 3-hour break with dinner provided before the start of Gala Performance. Many of our girls are young, and parents may not be able to accommodate to this timing. Do provide feedback to me so that I can forward to SG about it on Thursday's meeting.

Regards,
Mrs Tam

4th Asian Gymnaestrada

For pupils who are involved in the 4th Asian Gymnaestrada (Gym Fest), please note the following:
We will be going to train at NYGH as we need their mats for practice due to the addition of Joelle and Zen who volunteered to join in. They will do some tumbling which require mats. I've catered for bus from King's Road to NYGH. Parents can fetch the girls back from NYGH at 5pm. Please do email me
(at tam-wong_ting_ting@nyps.edu.sg)  if any child needs to go back to King's Road.

The detailed schedule is finally out:
Our performance item is #25 on 3 Nov (Sunday) from 2 to 4pm. 
http://www.singaporegymnastics.org.sg/4thAsianGymnaestrada/event_info/schedule/detailed-programme/

There is a rehearsal on 1 Nov (Friday) from 4-30pm to 5.15pm. We will have practice in King's Road from 2-4pm. Afterwhich, I'll take the girls over to Bishan for rehearsal and the school bus will ferry them back to King's Road by 5.40pm.
Practice at NYGH on 29 Nov (Tuesday) and 31 Nov (Thursday), from 2 pm to 5 pm. 

Thanks to all for accomodating to the dates and time as I'd received these information not long ago.

This year, Megan May's mother, Celine, has generously offered her house for our gymnasts to have a BBQ session and have fun there. Parents are invited too. Gymnasts can choose to play in the swimming pool too but only if they are water savvy and subject to parent's approval. Below is the information:

Date: 31 May (Fri)
Time: 2pm - 5pm

Transport is available to send everyone there and the bus will leave NYPS at 2pm. Please arrange for own transport home.
Gymnasts can contribute other food items while Celine will provide food for BBQ. Please let Mrs Tam know the type of food that you'll bring over.

Hope to see everyone there!
