FLAIRS WINTER DISPLAY & SPEED CHALLENGE 2016
The Flairs Winter Display & Speed Challenge was held once again at Bergvliet High School. This year the event was sponsored by The Ukuphumelela Trust in partnership with Great White Supply Chain Solutions and Joblaw. The theme of this year’s event was Team South Africa where the participants wore green and gold and actively participated in an item to the song Shoshaloza showing their support for Team South Africa to the upcoming Olympic Games. Flairs is particularly supporting Ryan Patterson (the first male gymnast to qualify for the Olympics since 1956) and the SA Rugby 7s team (Flairs parents and friends are part of the team).
Great fun was had by all at the display where gymnasts from all the classes showed off their skills in an apparatus circuit and a warm up and conditioning dance on the stage. In between the skippers from around the Western Cape took part in the Flairs Speed Challenge to be crowned the Kind and Queen of Speed. This year saw participation by skippers from the Flairs Schools Project at Blomvlei Primary School, as well as The Pebbles Project and Claremont High School. Other participants hailed from Jump It Rope Skipping Academy, GCU and Fish Hoek Gymnastics. Masi and his boys from Jump It Rope Skipping Academy also entertained the crowds during the event.
