Lumsden Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rhythmic Gymnastics is a beautiful sport in which gymnasts perform to music using a variety of apparatus. The most common apparatus' includes ribbon, ball, hoop, rope, and clubs. Scarves, flags, streamers, as well as no apparatus are also seen. Rhythmic gymnasts learn to coordinate their skills with the beat of the music, manipulate many different kinds of apparatus, and work as a team to perform routines. Gymnasts will gain flexibility, core strength, and body awareness as they progress through the season and continue in the program.

Lumsden Rhythmic Gymnastics classes are available for children ages 5‐18. We offer a non‐competitive team program which runs from September to May. All gymnasts require a black long‐sleeved bodysuit (available at various dance stores in Regina, or custom‐made through Cellar Creations), as well as stretchy clothes for practice. When performing, girls wear their hair in a bun, but pony‐tails are suitable for class.

For the 2009‐2010 season, the Lollipops (ages 5‐7) practice from 6‐7 pm on Wednesday evenings. The Sugarplums (ages 8‐10) practice from 6:45‐8 pm on Monday evenings; and the Twizzlers (ages 11+) practice from 7‐8:30 pm on Wednesday evenings. The cost for this season ranges from $300‐$350 for the season, as well as a low cost for costumes additions. Wednesday night classes are held in the Lumsden Elementary School gymnasium; Monday night class locations are still being determined for the 09/10 season.

For more information about Lumsden Rhythmics, please contact head coach Marcia Mitschke at 731‐3681 or marcia_anne_gymnast@hotmail.com. For more information about the Regina Rhythmic Gymnastics Club, please contact club president Brenda Embury at 359‐7300 or regina_rhythmic_gym@hotmail.com.

Golf

(306) 543-5050
Yards: 5124-6142
Green Fees: $24 weekend, $21 weekday, lower for senior, junior, and twilight
Bookings: required

Comments: This course lies in a rolling valley, which adds character and challenge to the course. Relax in the rural setting with lush vegetation.

Deer Valley Golf and Estates was created to provide golfers of all ages and skill levels with a fine playing experience while making the most of the stunning valley landscape.

Designed by ProGolf Ltd. and built by Warren Radomsky Construction, both of Calgary, the course opened in early July of 2001, and immediately became a must-see-and-play destination for golfers across western Canada and from beyond. Located just north of the Trans Canada Highway and a 20-minute drive from the city of Regina, it is a favorite stop for travelers.

With four sets of tees, measuring 5,460 yards from the forward tees and stretching to 6,782 from the back tees, the golf course is designed to meet the needs of all levels of play.

Whether a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the game, all golfers can enjoy both the course itself and the stunning scenery that waits at every turn.

To challenge misplaced shots, Deer Valley features 74 strategically-placed bunkers while fairway landing areas of 45 to 60 yards in width allow players to see how far they can stretch their drives.
