By Andrea Lucas The roller skating club to Blyth is on the roll for another season. On May 16 the skaters held a draw for a Coleman eaanp sk.4'1': ters ort rol stove, Coleman cooler and Coleman picnic jug. Winners were Gary Ranolds of Listowel, Shawn Bromley of Blyth and Lloyd Walsh of Blyth. On May 30, the Blyth Gymnastics Club held a competition. Pictured is Cathy Battye, who is helping some of the younger members with the floor exercises. (Rod Hilts photo) Gymnastics a popular sport with youngsters By Rod Hilts It started in Blyth five years ago. Since that time it has blossomed and become popular in Clinton and in Goderich. In 1978, a gym- nastics club started in Blyth and today it is expanding and growing stronger than ever. Elizabeth Battye, her son John and daughters, Cathy and Rachel are involved in teaching gymnastic skills to Blyth youths, ranging from the ages of three to 15. The sport has become so popular that John has opened up courses in Clinton and Goderich. "It's definitely flourishing. We don't have the coaching and facilities that are available in the cities, but with what we've got we've done well," said Mrs. Bat- tye. Deanna Bearss and Betsy Allen also help out with the coaching, which involves the supervision and teaching of approximately 70 children. Membership to the club is free of charge. Mrs. Battye said she started the gymnastics club because "there was a need for some type of recreation for the girls in Blyth." Mrs. Battye, who teaches at the Blyth Public School, said that the girls in her phys-ed classes expressed their desire to start the club. The Blyth club teaches its members various floor exercises, vaults and movements on the balance beams. The club is presently preparing some of its better competitors for the provincial gymnastics competition coming up this fall. The Blyth gymnasts will be entered in the Argo C class for competitors nine to 12 years -old. According to John Battye, a gymnastic enthusiast and instructor in Clinton and Goderich, interest in gymnastics has really picked up in the area. Interest has become so high that he is in desperate need of volunteers to help him with the children in Clinton and Goderich. It's hard to handle between 40 and 50 kids by yourself. The volunteers don't have to be qualified, they just have to do simple things. Just to have a volunteer spot would be a big help," said John. John was approached by the Goderich Recreation Committee to start up a club in Goderich. He says he gets paid by the committee, which covers his expenses. John said the main things stressed in gymnastics are strength, skill, flexibility and poise (gracefulness). "You have to make progress with the floor exercises before you get into the more complicated moves. A young gymnast cannot expect to start into a routine right away," John said. On May 30, Blyth held an inter -club competition, with members showing an ap- preciative crowd what they had learned over the past few months. "Competition is the best thing for a gymnast. It gives them an edge. In the end, it's the ones who work harder and practice more that will progress," said John. Special wanks goes out to Gore's Hardware fur donating the prizes. The roller skaters held their first monthly car wash on May 23. It was a success, considering the poor weather 'f'he next car wash wi!1 be held on June 18. Special thanks goes out to Radford's for the use of their garage. As of June 12, roller skating will be starting on Sundays and Wednesdays. Times are: 7-8 p.m. begin- ner 3 and public school, ad- inission 50 cents, including skate rental; 8:30-10:30 p.m. regular skating, admission $1, rental $1. On June 26 the roller cirr,tpr¢ wilt hnlrl ;i Cycle Rall Game against members of the Blyth Arena Board. Game donations will be the admission. A bed race will also take place and everyone is welcome to participate. Un July 16, Professional Rock Sound will be playing at a 12 hour roll-a-thon, to run from 12 noon to 12 mid- night. Sponsor sheets will be available at the Triple K and Youngblut's Sunoco. Pro- ceeds will be used to help recreation programs at the Blyth Community Centre. A memorial plaque will ',— hung in the arena in memory of Judy MacDonald. Judy died in 1981 and her mother donated the funds to help purchase the plaque.
