We are once again taking part in the Active Kids 2014 scheme by Sainsbury’s.

We are collecting vouchers, which can then be put towards new equipment for our members, so if you have any vouchers then please bring them along and add them to the box, which will be put out at each session. In the past, your kind generosity has enabled us to get conditioning equipment for our members, as well as a new safety landing mat.

Update: August 2014

The 2014 scheme has finished and thanks to the volume of vouchers received we have managed to secure a couple of benches, which can be used as training aids and also for when we hold competitions. Thank you to everyone that brought vouchers in!

Thursday 16th January 2014 was a successful evening, which saw members of Alton Trampoline Club win a number of awards at the Annual Alton & District Sports Counctil Awards ceremony.
