Before the session begins, parents/guardians and
gymnasts should ensure the following:
! The gymnast’s attendance has been registered
! Class fees are up to date or have been paid to the
member of staff taking the register
! The gymnast isn’t wearing loose clothing or
jewellery
! Loose hair is tied back
! No food is taken into the sports hall
! Any drinks taken into the sports centre have secure
tops/lids
! The gymnast’s shoes are taken off
! On arrival please do not disrupt the class that is
finishing, please wait at the side of the hall until
notified otherwise by a member of staff
During the session:
Within the sports hall, there is no
designated viewing area for
parents/guardians/spectators. We
ask that parents/guardians do not
stay within the sports centre
during the class, this for health
and safety reasons, and to ensure
the concentration of the
gymnasts is held only on the
activity itself and the coaches of
the session. If it is your child’s
first session, we permit parents/
guardians to watch the first 15
minutes of the session to ensure
their child has settled into the
class and are happy to continue.
At the end of the session:
Parents/guardians should wait in
the reception area of the sports
centre. A member of staff will
bring the gymnasts out to the
parents/guardians of whom the
gymnasts are being collected by.
Membership and Fees
You
can just arrive in time for
the class and we will provide
you with the necessary forms
and information.
Fees are £21 per month per
child (based on £4 per session
per week per child, plus a £5
monthly club membership fee.)
We do not charge extra for 5
week months but we will close
for two weeks at Christmas,
and 2 weeks in the Summer TBC). Members will be
refunded in the case of an
unexpected cancellation of
class.
Full membership fees are not
expected to be paid on your
child's first session. A session
fee of £4.00 is payable for the
first session, which will be
refunded if your child does not
wish to complete the entire
session. Should your child wish
to join as a full member after
the first session, the difference
up to £21.00 will need to be
made up at the second
session. If joining part way
through a month, participants
can pay £4.00 per class up until
their first full membership
month, where £21.00 will be
payable on the first class of the
month.
Also upon joining the club,
participants will be required to pay
£17 for British Gymnastics
Insurance and Membership (annual
fee). This fee is collected by the
club and then paid to British
Gymnastics. For further details of

scratching or become caught in materials should be
removed.
