A local gymnastics club is hoping its latest verbal acrobatics might win some support from local politicians for a purpose built facility in Vernon.
“We were created 23 years ago with the purpose of building a facililty,” said Pam Hargreaves of the North Valley Gymnastics Society.
The group is still waiting.
Hargreaves told the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee Thursday that the gymnastics club is at capacity with over 600 individuals, from toddlers to adults, taking part in classes and activities. One hundred more are on a waiting list.
The non-profit society is once again asking for a public partnership deal in which it could borrow some of the funds needed in order to build a gymnastics facility. A 2009 estimate put the cost at just over $3 million.
Hargreaves said that over the years the group had used almost every suitable location in Vernon for gymnastics and that the sport just kept growing.
The current lease runs out next year.
