The Rangiora Gymnastics Club is springing into the New Year with confidence after an impressive 2018.

The club's competitive team ended the season with a number of medals and trophies, as well as producing four Canterbury reps and one national rep.

The senior squad of Ella Van Meer, Hannah Drury, Amber Brownlee and Eva Hyde were all chosen to represent Canterbury, while Hyde was also chosen to represent New Zealand.

Club coach Geo Varelas was also chosen to join the Canterbury coaching team.

Club president Stef Van Meer said as well as competitive gymnastic classes, the club offered recreational gymnastics for boys and girls from pre-school to teenager.

"We also have cheerleading, rythmic gymnastics, boys only and adults gymnastics on our timetable.

"Research shows that gymnastics is one of the most comprehensive lifestyle exercise programs available to children, incorporating strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination, power, and discipline.

"The skills learned in gymnastics at all levels can benefit a child's overall development."

The club meets at 24 Edwards St, Rangiora. For more information about what the club offers or to make a booking, visit rangioragymnasticsclub.co.nz or check out the Rangiora Gymnastics Club Facebook page to find out more.

Hey neighbours,

The proposed South Express cycleway, which links Templeton to Hagley Park, will turn sections of residential streets into culs-de-sac and also see about 65 trees replaced.

New traffic signals will be added at 11 intersections along the route.

The work is part of the council's $252m major cycleways programme that will see suburbs connected to the central city through 13 separate routes.

What do you think of the plans? How will the roading changes affect you? Do you think this is the best use of the NZ Transport Agency's funding?
