MEMBERSHIP
All members are required to pay an annual Airborne administration fee. This fee is £8.00 per year per child. This will help fund further coaching education, new gymnastics equipment and vital administration. This will be an annual set fee from 1 September. Club admin fee is due with every September invoice.
All members (with the exception of school clubs) require British gymnastics (the sports national governing body) membership which includes personal accident insurance. The British Gymnastics insurance year begins 1 October as is £17.00. You will directly pay this to British Gymnastics and upon payment we receive an email to confirm your cover. If this is not paid on the 1st October or upon your first non-trial session, your child will NOT be able to take part in their class.

UNIFORM
Airborne Gymnastics Code of Dress should be adhered to at all times when representing the club. This also complies with British Gymnastics British Code of Dress for gymnastic activities.
Due to health and safety regulations, Airborne leotards will be compulsory for all advanced recreational and squad gymnasts, and should be purchased before starting your child’s first session. Recreational leotards are optional, however if purchasing a leotard we would prefer it to be the club leotard. If your child does not wish to wear a leotard then leggings and a t-shirt (with NO hood) must be worn. Boys are to wear shorts and an Airborne polo to training.
CANCELLATION OF CLASSES
If we cancel a regular class we will attempt to offer an alternative class day, time or date to substitute this cancelled class, this is known as a ‘make-up class’. If you are unable to attend a ‘make-up class’ a refund will not be applicable. If circumstances that are out of our control (such as a venue cancelling due to bad weather, power cut etc) no refund or make-up class will take effect.
