And that's it for another year! What an amazing job to be able to foster fun, laughter and companionship whilst helping people to strengthen body and mind through the British Gymnastics Foundation Love to Move programme.

Thank you so much to all the participants at all 14 Christmas Special locations for joining in with a great sense of fun.

Every venue has been given my homemade Love to Move Dorset game, which has little activities to do over the Christmas break. I hope they will be used and enjoyed!

Extra special thanks to my super team of volunteers and to all the Activities Teams that help me every week.

Now for a little rest before starting again in January!
