7 A WORD FROM THE MEET DIRECTOR I have organized this competition to promote the continuation of gymnastics, so relax, put some routines together, relax, and have fun (and relax). If in doubt, compete; you ll regret it if you don t. This year's new trampoline category should be fun. I have Denis Vachon organizing this event and he is very excited to be able to keep all you trampolinists bouncing past retirement. I try my best to organize the competition at the lowest price possible without compromising on the parts that make this evening fun. The location has been moved to the Oakville Gymnastics Club with this is mind. Also, I am happy to be able to include Burlington's own Brewery, NICKEL BROOK, as our very first sponsor. They have given us all of the awards at a great price to help keep the costs low. Please enjoy their products responsibly and visit their brewery ( or the LCBO to enjoy more of their beer. As a master competitor since 2000, I have had way too much fun in this category. I would like to thank the Quinte Bay Gymnastics Club and Gymnastics Energy for hosting such great competitions and for being the inspiration for this fun-filled evening. I hope that this championship can be a good complement to those events. Sincerely, Eric Laurin Why quit when you can become a master?
