BADGE WEEKS
Every term we hold our Badge Week, a chance for all of our recreational gymnasts to gain a British Gymnastics Proficiency Award (awards for Trampoline groups are ongoing).
The dates for each week are on our notice boards and the two weeks leading up to the Badge Week will be spent practising for their next award.
The awards start at Level 7 and become progressively more difficult until they reach Level 2 where they will also receive Level 1, and a medal as well as the usual badge and certificate.
After Level 1 there are Bronze, Silver and Gold awards in different disciplines and our own Trampette awards, all of which are much more difficult than the Level 7 to 1, and may take the gymnasts more than 1 or 2 attempts to pass!
Your child will be given a slip to indicate if they have passed the award, and if you would like to purchase this please go to the Conference Room either after the session, or ask at the Front Desk for the award the following week. You must provide the slip to confirm your child has passed in order to get the award, and to keep our records up to date!
The awards are designed to develop the skill of each gymnast and to be fun at the same time! Your child will be given a slip with the moves on which they will be tested in the two weeks leading up to Badge Week, so that they may practise at home.
Our Pre school children also take part in Badge Week, and have two sets of awards, Fundamentals and Pre School Proficiency Awa rds which will be alternated throughout the year.
Notice Boards
We have two 'Coming Soon' notice boards at the club to keep you up to date with general info and events at your club. They can be found just inside the main entrance doors, and in the cafeteria area next to the toilet facilities. They are updated regularly so please check them each time you come in for news and up and coming events, displays, competitions etc.
At the end of the main viewing area next to the Changing Room door we have a large green notice board with an allocated area for each of the disciplines and groups where we display competition results, posters, general info and our class plans for Recreational Gymnastics, Trampolining and Pre School, as well as our 'Important Dates for your Diary' posters.
Please make sure you check these boards regularly!
Waveney Gymnastics Club Mini Bus Arrives!!!
We are delighted to announce the arrival of our club mini bus, kindly sponsored by John Grose. A brand new 17 seater bus, fully sign written, it is a great opportunity for all of the gymnasts to travel together, and to reduce transport costs for parents/carers.
The bus can be used for transporting all of our gymnasts and users to their competitions, squads, displays events, and to take supporters to competitions etc, as well as for local schools as part of our Schools Community Coach project.
Also if anyone would like to volunteer as a driver, please see Tadhg or Gordon.We hope that you will enjoy using the bus and seeing it around town!
