A record of 2317 continuous somersaults in two hours set in 1998 by members of the Ellan Vannin Gymnastics Club is under threat. Members of the same club have set their sights on 2500 in a repeat event to be held on Saturday 21st May. The venue this year as in 1998 is the Strand Shopping centre and the gymnasts will start their record attempt at 2 pm. The Club is urging the public to come along and cheer the gymnasts on. In training they can average 24 somersaults in a minute, so the record can be broken, but they are going to need encouragement. People are also being asked to sponsor the gymnasts, or make a donation to the Club, with all funds going towards the Club’s Commonwealth Youth Games extension building project. ENDS
