Membership and Session Fees

At the A.G.M. in Oct 2007, it was agreed that the gymnasts’ fees should be radically simplified. The reason for the change was the need for a clear, simple fee structure, the ability to make automated payments with a fixed due date and the need to continue to keep fees low by reducing overall overheads.

Session Fees

Session fees will now** be charged at £15 per month per session per gymnast . This will be payable by standing order on 1^st each month and includes competition fees, Marriott’s training sessions and any awards/badges gained.

Membership & Insurance

ALL gymnasts training with the club MUST be insured through British Gymnastics. The insurance year runs from October - September. The charges vary depending on whether the gymnast concerned is Competitive or Non-Competitive.

The insurance will be invoiced in September and is included in the club yearly membership fee.
