Epping SC Gymnastics Club have been invited to take part in the prestigious World Gymnaestrada in Lausanne, Switzerland, by British Gymnastics in 2011.

The local club will be among thousands of gymnasts participating in the global festival of gymnastics, which takes place every four years.

Epping must raise £750 per gymnast to attend the event and are planning a number of fundraising programmes to help fund the trip.

Once there, the gymnasts will get the chance to perform in front of thousands of spectators, with the opening and closing ceremonies being held in the 25,000 capacity Pontaise Olympic Stadium.
