Eslaford Cup 2013

In 1086 in the Domesday Book, Sleaford is recorded as Eslaforde, Old English meaning "ford over a muddy stream".

We are enormously proud of our local heritage and history, as proud as we are of the gymnasts, parents and volunteers from Sleaford and the surrounding villages, who make Sleaford Elite Gymnastics Club, the success that it is.

We would like to reflect our pride in the town and our members through the national Gymnastics competitions that we will be hosting. In recognition of this, we have named our competitions the Eslaforde Cup.
