About the Business
Penzance Gymnastics Club started in 1972 with Wendy Ash running the club in various school halls around the town. Tony and Jan Bragg joined the club as coaches and ran recreational classes at Cross Street, Penzance. Jan and Tony developed the gym, improving the level of gymnastics in the area and from 1982 they took over the full running of the club from Wendy. Jan and Tony devoted their lives to the club with Jan running it full time, starting with Gym Bobs and progressing throughout the day to county standard classes. Tony dedicated all his spare time outside of lecturing at Cornwall College to coaching mainly the 'top' group who represented the county in intermediate and county competitions. As time crept up on the building at Cross Street, major building work was needed and the landlords wanted to demolish the gym after 30 years of existence.
