Information
The following information has also been supplied via email to members
We are bursting with excitement to be bringing back our Annual Summer Display for the first time since the pandemic! This will also be our first Display in the new sports centre and we can’t wait!
The Summer Display (also know as the Summer Sizzler) is a chance for ALL our members to be involved in group routines showing off their skills, performing and having fun! Whatever your child’s age, Stage and ability they can be part of the action!
The Participant fee for the Summer Display is £30. This is paid in two parts as follows:
1) £20 reservation fee - this is paid when signing up for the Display via the Store (JoinIn) and will debit the account you have set up in your mandate 5 working days after you register
2) £10 balancing payment in cash to secure the place. Please bring this to class in a named envelope labelled as Summer Display payment.
Participant fees cover all rehearsals including show day and an event t-shirt.
Tickets to watch the Summer Display are sold separately at no more than £5 each.
It is important that you read the information below and sign up by the deadline in order to be involved.
DEADLINES:
Closing date for sign-up online (to reserve your place): FRIDAY 2nd JUNE
Closing date for balancing payment (to secure your place): FRIDAY 16th JUNE
Please note: Payments for events are non-refundable as we plan our budgets based on the income from participant fees. In order to take part, gymnasts must be able to attend all of the rehearsals for their Stage as well as ‘Display Day’ from and to the times shown.
