Club History
Avondale Gymnastics Club has been proud to be part of the Royal Borough
of Kingston since it's formation in 1947. The Club started from it's
humble beginnings in Grand Avenue, Berrylands to it's home for over
25 years in Fleetwood School. As the number of members grew, so did
Avondale and it operated five nights a week from the school hall.
During this time there were many success including the boys team being
the National Association of Boys Clubs Champions for 5 successive
years.
In 1978, Avondale moved to the newly built Centre
for a short (caretaker) stay until the Borough moved the Club into
(sadly) smaller premises at the King Charles Centre. With the cramped
conditions numbers fell, but not giving up, Avondale kept trying for
a new purpose built building only for gymnasts.
In 1986 with the help of the Borough, Faircloughs and a large amount
of money raised by the Club over many years, Avondale finally got
its new home, a new purpose built gymnasium in Hollyfield Road, Surbiton (our present facility).
