    Classes will take place at Hampsthwaite Memorial Hall for beginner and intermediate gymnasts on Monday evenings. Social distancing has restricted the number of gymnasts able to attend the club's sessions at Hornbeam Park.

    Harrogate Gymnastics is to start providing classes in Hampsthwaite next week for children aged four to 11.

    The club has 500 recreational members and 200 competitive gymnasts at its Hornbeam Park location.

    It had a waiting list to join pre-covid and social distancing measures have reduced the number of people able to attend, prompting owner Chloe Carey to look for a new site.

    Classes will take place at Hampsthwaite Memorial Hall for beginner and intermediate gymnasts on Monday evenings.

    Sessions will last for 45 minutes to an hour and will cater for up to 12 gymnasts.

    Ms Carey, who lives in Hampsthwaite, said:

    "We have a waiting list at the club, which has been made worse by the restrictions on numbers during the pandemic and wanted to be able to get the children who want to take part in gymnastics Into classes as quickly as possible, especially having had restrictions on organised sport for the best part of a year.
    "With the roadworks in Harrogate it has become increasingly difficult for some of the surrounding villages to get over to Hornbeam so that has become a barrier to participation for some."


    Some equipment is new and some is being transferred from Hornbeam Park.
