“We were lucky enough to get involved with CETC in late 2017 after my daughter, Amelia, nagged me to swap her over to Trampolining and DMT, having watched it from her gymnastics class across the hall.
Since my son wasn’t actively involved in sport through the weeknights, I thought I’d put him into the same classes, rather than have him twiddle his thumbs while we waited for her to train. I think it is fair to say we ignited an immediate passion for Archie!
"I first became involved with CETC in 2008 when my older daughter, at the age of 3 tried trampolining as part of a gymnastics class. It was her favourite discipline and she was keen to do more.
The gymnastics coach was Kayleigh Kerr, and the rest as they say, is history.
"I joined Edinburgh University Trampoline Club in my Fresher’s Week in Sept 1981 and bounced enthusiastically but with no style and limited ability, once or twice a week throughout the 4 years of my Maths degree course, qualifying as a Coach and becoming President of the Club in my final year. Most of my life-long friends (including my wife) were either members of that club or partners of members or, in many cases, both.
Norman (& his wife Rhona) became involved in the Club when his three children joined the Lasswade classes in 2009. The children- Paige, Taylor & Cole- have now grown up & moved on from CETC, with Taylor continuing to compete & coach until October 2019.
As a C.A, Norman was asked (roped-in!) to audit the Club’s accounts one year- which he kindly agreed to - & he’s been overseeing the accounts annually for many years since then- which is very much appreciated.
Moira is mum to Lauren & Kayleigh, and has been involved with trampolining since Lauren was 9 - quite some time - & much longer than she cares to work out!
Sandra began helping out at CETC when daughter Lauren joined the Club after attending a Development class at the Crags, in 2006.
She has been an invaluable member of CETC since then, organising the Swescore computer recording of scores at many Scottish, British & local events over the years.
