Happy Easter!

This was the last week before the Easter break for schools.  I was running a schools funded project that gave Plumstead Manor, Blackheath & Bluecoats, Thomas Tallis and Eltham Hill schools a after-school club trampolining coaching session per week.  The programme was due to finish at Easter, but has now been extended for a few more weeks into the summer term.  Great news for the schools – and for me.

I’ve been feeling poorly this week – a head cold which has left me feeling rather run-down all week. Despite that, we have had quite a hectic week.  Mondays Bounce session went well – I am still trying to do the bridge, but need to build up my upper body strength, Chanelle is helping me and I am improving, but still a way to go.  On Wednesday we welcomed a new volunteer, Demar, who has just started his Level 1 coaching award and requested that I become his Mentor for his course.  He will be joining us on our Wednesday sessions.

We started two new Bounce Programmes on Wednesday and Saturday, which perked me up a bit even though I was reluctant to participate, but once I got started, felt OK. 

I shall have a busy Easter, delivering some coaching sessions for schools holiday programmes at George Green School this week and Bishops Challenor next week.  Chanelle too will be busy, coaching at Danson Youth Centre, during the holidays.

On a personal note… Chanelle and I went to the Ideal Home Show on Friday and had great time.  It is our annual family outing – a tradition that started when I was young when went with my parents, which I have continued most years, taking my children when they were young too.

More next week, when I hope I shall be feeling better.

Happy Mother’s Day

I hope you had a happy Mother’s Day, whether you are a Mother yourself, or you made your Mother’s day for her.   My daughter made me dinner and gave me a beautiful ‘special Mum’ pendant, so I had a great day!  I also made contact with other Mothers in my life – my friends!

Monday was the last week of our February ‘Bounce’ programme.  It ended with a very intense session.  At the end we took measurements and revealed that everyone who participated lost at least an inch around their bust, waist and hips!  A very satisfying result!  This means that we have proven results that the ‘Bounce Your Way to Fitness!’ 6-week programme really works! 

Our Wednesday session was brightened up by a visit from my other daughter, Natalie, who is also a trampoline coach.  She breezed in, performed a few somersaults and had a fun bounce, and then left – all within about 15 minutes!  We are still working hard towards preparations for the London Youth Games, practicing routines and improving performance of the squad.

Saturday saw the launch of our children’s Trampoline Birthday party events with our very first party.  The birthday boy and his friends had a great time and his family had very positive things to say about the party.  I have coached many birthday party events for other organisations, especially at Leisure Centres, but this is the first (of many, we hope) that we have hosted as Greenwich Bouncers.

Have a great week,
