British Gymnastics Membership
Why do I need to join BG?
When joining Whitehall Gymnastics Club, you will also need to become a member of British Gymnastics, the national governing body for gymnastics. Having a BG Membership is mandatory and brings benefits including, most importantly all relevant and vital insurance for anyone wishing to take part in gymnastics which is not free from risk due to the nature of the sport and skills being performed.
Due to the GDPR, Whitehall Gymnastics Club is unable to pass on you or your Child's personal details to BG. This means we are unable to complete this very important step on your behalf.
Whitehall Gymnastics Club is unable to allow any participants to take part in any sessions, unless they have a valid membership with British Gymnastics.
You must pay your British Gymnastics membership fee directly to BG as part of your membership registration process. The club will be notified of your membership details and number once you have re-registered or registered We have decided to do this to simplify the process for this year.
BG Membership is renewable from September/October for 12 months. Unfortunately, the BG membership is not pro-rata. The full fee is due to BG at the point you join our club. No matter when you join our club the same fee is due.
​
If you have any issues or questions BG will be happy to help, you can call or email them.
​
We are open during half terms. We only close 2 weeks in the summer holidays and two weeks at Christmas.
We are open 48 weeks a year!
​​
Clothing
No jewellery may be worn at any time during classes.
This is the policy of 'Whitehall GC’ towards the wearing of jewellery by any age gymnast or coach. This means that if your child has any form of decoration, i.e. face paint, beaded hair braids, friendship bracelets, they will not be allowed to take part in their class until they can be safely removed.
​
If your child has newly pierced ears they are able to tape them during the healing period. After this they must be removed.
​
We can offer a £8.50 trial session depending on availability.
Trial session can be booked depending on availability. If your child does not have gymnastics wear, shorts/leggings and a t-shirt can be worn for their trial and for the first few weeks.
​
If you would like to book in for a trial
• We would need your child's full name, DOB and contact information.
• Let us know what day would be best for you.
• Sign up to our portal. Payment will need to be sent prior to session. But we can arrange this after we have found a suitable session for you.
We now have a growing waiting list for all of our classes.
