Special days for South Dublin gymnasts 

The South Dublin Special Olympics Club gymnasts have been having a wonderful time and sharing memorable experiences. 

Just over three weeks ago, a group of seven rhythmic gymnasts, accompanied by parents and Coaches, Liz and Helen travelled to Oslo, Norway to participate in an Invitational International. 

They represented their Club and country against the best from other nations and made everyone proud.

Two days of strenuous gymnastic routines were followed by sightseeing in the Northern Capital and a long flight home. 

Last weekend the business was more serious. 

On November 17th the highly anticipated Inter Clubs Regional Games took place at the SETU Campus in Waterford, the Games, hosted by Special Olympics Munster.
