PDMS sponsors Inter Island Games gymnastics team

News Published on 22 March 2023

PDMS is happy to be supporting the Isle of Man Gymnastics squad in their Inter Island Games competition by providing funds for their new competition leotards.

The Isle of Man Gymnastics Association hopes to send four teams of gymnasts aged 11 and upwards to the 2023 Inter Island Games. The Games will be held in Åland, Finland from 3rd – 9th July 2023, with 11 islands participating, some as far away as the Cayman Islands.

The cost for each gymnast and team coach will be around £1500 – including travel, kit and accommodation. Gymnasts, parents and coaches are working hard to raise £25,000 to attend the Inter Island Games through a variety of fundraising events. 

PDMS is proud to be able to support the Isle of Man Gymnastics squad providing funds for the team's leotards.  

UX Designer, Georgia Vernon, is a former gymnast and now coaches gymnastics in her spare time. Some of the children from Georgia's gymnastics club will be competing in the Inter Island Games, so PDMS was more than pleased to support these young Manx talents in representing the Isle of Man.

Georgia said: “Our gymnasts train between 18 and 22 hours per week, putting in a lot of time and effort into this demanding yet rewarding sport. Competing and representing the Isle of Man will be such a memorable experience for the team after all their hard work and dedication."

"We are really grateful to PDMS for providing funds to cover the cost of the team’s leotards. Any other donations to our CrowdFunding page, no matter how big or small, would be hugely appreciated ”, she added.

A CrowdFunding page has been set up for any further donations to support the team's competition costs. Any donations are greatly appreciated by the Isle of Man Gymnastics Association and the team.
