What if we want to quit:
Are we automatically signed up for next term:
Also, we do allow a monthly split fees standing order option for members who train more than one hour per week or have multiple children in the club. But please do not cancel it in the breaks as it is a pro- rated cost and rolls over. Please also do not cancel it early if you decide to leave mid term, as the full term must be paid off including the last instalment because we have booked the staff and hall all term on your behalf and still have to pay them if you stop coming and hold the space with no notice given (please check instalments due with the office – One full term is 4 instalments). .
Holidays / Shows:
We do offer holiday clubs at times, and these are paid for separately, and sent out on email with a booking form.
Competitive squads are required to train more hours and the girls and boys elite squad coaches will be in-touch with additional date options. We have an annual club show and competition for parents to view progress and we offer regular displays and compete regionally with our squads. We do not have space for spectating during the lessons so please drop off only, but there are café areas and windows.
What do the children wear:
Do we need to purchase the SG outfits:
It’s not compulsory unless you compete, but all our range can be ordered via the clothing order form shown on our website.
