Regent Gymnastics Club has officially moved in to its new home.
Their new space is on Le Breton Lane in St Helier.
It features £125,000 worth of equipment from the Paris Olympics, which was donated to the club in December 2024.

Amongst the kit, is the large ring frame.
Director Julia Falle told Channel 103:
"That particular ring frame was never able to go to Fort Regent because it was too big.
"It's the first time its been up here since the games; we've had a couple of lads swinging on it and they love it.
Regent Gymnastics Club had an interim stint at the new Oakfield Centre after moving out of Fort Regent, but weren't able to use their equipment there.

Julia said:
"We were very lucky to have Oakfield which served the club well and it's a great facility, but to have our own place has been the dream, and it's come together really well.
"We've now got a 7,000 square feet unit, we fit everything in here, we didn't want to lose our equipment - that was the drive to find somewhere."
