The Comox Valley’s Chimo Gymnastics Club will host the 14th annual Pajama Party Invitational Gymnastics Meet this weekend (Saturday, Feb. 8 and Sunday, Feb. 9).
Doors at the Comox Community Centre open at 9 a.m. both days with events running until 8:30 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday. There will be a full concession available as well as the opportunity to participate in 50/50 draws throughout the weekend.
The meet will be a qualifier for the BC Championships taking place later in the season in Kamloops. Many top Island gymnasts are expected to compete for a chance to attend the championships, not to mention taking top honours at the Pajama Party Meet.
“This is the club’s largest annual fundraiser with a Pajama Party theme!” a Chimo spokesperson said. “Gymnasts often sport their best pajamas, slippers, teddy bears and robes as they march in to start competition. Spectators will be treated to some fantastic gymnastics from a range of competitor ages as well as both men’s events and women’s events being contested throughout the weekend.
“For those aspiring gymnasts out there, a large selection of gymnastics suits and supplies will be on site for purchasing. Come out to watch the show You might just ‘flip’ over it!”
