The HGC has existed since the 1980’s and at various times in its history has been helped by BHD Lions. Over the years HGC has coached over three thousand gymnasts. Significantly, BHDLC formally adopted HGC in 2013 as part of the MD105SE ‘Adopt a Youth Club’ scheme. Since then the BHD Lions have helped HGC in several ways; in particular, they have assisted at the Bonfire and Fireworks celebrations and helped HGC at Hurstpierpoint Christmas Fair.

Hurstpierpoint Gymnastics Club celebrated its 41st Annual Championships in 2024 with over eighty gymnasts competing for the trophies available, watched by an appreciative audience. The girls floor Novice Cup was won by Eloise Davey and the boys by Lucas Jones who also won the ‘All Round Boys’ championship. Lion President Christopher Muschamp presented the certificates, medals and trophies. BHDLC sponsored the competition jointly with Tamarind Natural Therapies, enabling free entry to all the competitions and free entry for the spectators.
