This information includes completion of participant information in respect of each child, together with any other information about the Participants that you think is relevant for us to know in respect of the session(s), e.g. disability/injury.

If you do not, or you provide us with incomplete, incorrect or inaccurate information or instructions, we may cancel the Contract by giving you written notice.

We will provide the Session(s) to the Participant(s) on the date(s) set out in the Booking Confirmation.

We may have to suspend a Session if we have to deal with technical problems, or to make improvements to the Session. We will let you know in advance where this occurs, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency.

We reserve the right to modify a Session(s) due to adverse weather conditions, low attendance or other unforeseen circumstances and will notify you of such modification as soon as possible.

On occasion we may be required to cancel Sessions as a result of factors such as low attendance/bookings, venue or facility issues, adverse weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. We will notify you of any such cancellations as soon as possible by email and/or telephone.

Within the booking process you will be sent/given a form setting out your child’s details, (a Participant Information Form). The Participant Information Form must be completed for each Participant truthfully and comprehensively, providing us with all information, which may be relevant to the Participants taking part in the Session. Please print, complete, sign and date the Participant Information Form and bring it with you on the first day of the Session or Hand to reception.

  • Recreational gymnastics – shorts and t-shirt, or recognised gymnastics attire
  • Squad/Development gymnastics – recognized gymnastics attire

Participants are expected to be reasonably fit and healthy and not suffer from any medical condition, which would make it more likely that they would be involved in any incident, which could result in injury to themselves or others. If you are in any doubt as to whether the Participant should attempt the activities we have set out in our Session details, do talk to us about your concerns prior to booking.

No refunds or compensation will be payable by us in the event that any Participant is not permitted to, or decides not to, undertake or complete the Session(s) for the reasons set out in this clause.

In the unlikely event that any Participant requires medical attention while on a Session, we will provide first aid on site and make every attempt to contact you.

You acknowledge and consent to our taking the Participant offsite to obtain medical attention when we deem this is required, if necessary without your consent, in an emergency.

The price of any Sessions will be as quoted on our site and in our literature (including booking forms) from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. These prices may include or exclude VAT, as specified within the Booking Confirmation.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect Sessions in respect of which we have already sent you a Booking Confirmation/confirmed booking.

Bookings and payment for sessions are based on the following “Blocks” of sessions and are booked on a rolling basis according to the following timescales:

  • Recreational sessions – 6 Week Block, payable at the start of every 6 weeks
  • Squad/Developmental sessions – 4 Week Block, payable at the start of every 4 weeks

On acceptance on to a session or block of sessions your child(ren) will be given an “Allocated Space”

Bookings are taken at your club or via our website and you should liaise with your club reception team to facilitate you on the booking process.

Payment must be made at the time of booking/at the start of each “Block”.

Payment for all “Blocks/Sessions” must be by a recognised club means e.g. cheque (payable to NW Gymnastics Ltd), by cash, credit or debit card, or by online payment via direct debit if available. We will charge your credit or debit card when we take your booking either online or by telephone and you will be notified immediately that the payment has been processed successfully. Payment must be made in full prior to commencement of the first session of a block and activities by your child(ren).

Payment for a new “Block” of sessions will become due 1 week prior to the commencement of that “Block” and payments should be fully completed for the whole “Block” within 1 week of the “Block” commencing.

Payments are accepted in Pounds Sterling only (£).

In the event of full payment not having been received within 2 weeks/sessions of a new “Block” NW Gymnastics retains the right to refuse access to the session until full payment is made and confirmation of this payment is given to the relevant session staff.

Block fees are designed to enable the club to plan groups effectively, payment of your “Block” fees will ensure that your child(ren) can access the agreed sessions, but also acts as a method for you to secure your child’s space within the assigned group.

Please note that failure to pay the relevant “Block” fees may result in your child(ren) losing their place within a “Block”. We cannot guarantee that your child(ren) will be able to access the same or any other session/block should they be removed due to non-payment. This is in light of the fact that we have waiting lists for most sessions and will fill your child(ren)s place as soon as a space becomes legitimately available.

New gymnasts may be eligible for a trial period with the club, this trial period will be for a maximum of 2 sessions and is designed to allow you to identify the suitability of the club and it’s sessions.

Following the completion of the trial period you may be offered an “allocated space” as identified above within section 12.

Once you accept the “allocated space” following your trial period, you will be liable for the payment of the remainder of the current “Block” of sessions. Your club or session leader will inform you of your payment requirements and will complete the relevant joining paperwork.

NW Gymnastics operates a membership scheme for gymnasts. This membership is mandatory in order to retain your child(ren)s “allocated space” and is charged on an annual basis.

This membership is in addition to normal “Block” fees.

Membership fees will be advertised at your club and information sent/given to you at sessions prior to the commencement of membership.

The membership year runs from the 1st of January of each year. Payment of club membership must be made by 31st January of each year, or within 4 weeks of commencing sessions with the club in the event a gymnast joins part way through the membership year.

Gymnasts joining part way through a membership year will receive membership on a pro-rata basis for the remainder of the current membership year.

You may cancel your child(ren)s “allocated space” at any time by confirming this cancellation in writing.

To avoid being charged for a new “Block” you must inform us in writing of your desire to remove your child(ren) from their “allocated space” at least 2 weeks/sessions before a new “Block” is due to commence.

Please refer to the refunds policy below to identify what level/if a refund is due to you.

NW Gymnastics is a British Gymnastics registered club, as a result of being a registered club all gymnasts must become a member of British Gymnastics in line with their membership criteria, categories, and fees.

From 1st October, gymnasts must join or renew their membership directly with British Gymnastics via a new online process.

For gymnasts, our membership year runs from 1st October to 30th September. We have different levels of membership available with associated annual fees. All current gymnasts will need to renew their British Gymnastics membership from 1st October. New gymnasts can join at any time during the year provided they have been offered a place in a British Gymnastics registered club.

Further details on British Gymnastics membership can be found from the following link on the British Gymnastics website

Failure to complete registration with British Gymnastics could result in your child(ren) not being able to access their session(s) / block.

On certain occasions your child(ren) may be invited to take part in additional activities that are not provided within their normal “block” of sessions. You will be made aware of any such competitions and/or events as well as any additional fees (if any) required in order to take part.

Payments for these additional activities will be due prior to the child(ren) taking part in the additional activity and failure to pay in advance and in full could result in withdrawal of the child(ren) from the aforementioned additional event.

Payments for such events can be made via the club reception or in other ways as identified when an invitation to attend is given/sent.

When you cancel a Session(s)/Block booked with us within the seven day cooling off period, if the Session(s) has not begun during the cooling off period we will refund the price of the Session(s) in full.

If the “Block” has already begun and your child has attended any or part of it during the seven-day period, you will not be entitled to a refund for cancellation for the session(s) missed or for the entirety of the remainder of the “Block”

When you cancel a Session/Block booked with us after the cooling off period has expired:

  • No refund will be due for the remainder of sessions within the session “Block”

If your child(ren) is absent from sessions within a block you will not be due any refund unless as a result of injury or illness and according to the terms identified below in section 15.

We will process any refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation.

If you cancel a Session/Block because you claim that the Session/Block is not of an acceptable quality, we will make investigations and will notify you of any refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within

30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the Course.

We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your booking.

In the unlikely event that the Session(s) do not conform with these terms and conditions, please let us know as soon as possible by telephone, email or by post, or by talking directly with the management team at your gym. We will aim to deal with your complaint within 48 hours of its receipt in accordance with our complaints procedure, which is available at www.nwgymnastics.co.uk We may then, at our option: Provide you with a full or partial refund, depending on what is deemed reasonable; or

Offer you a place on an alternative Session.

These terms and conditions will apply to any substitute Session we book for you.

In the event that your child(ren) is injured or ill, and as a result is unable to attend their session/block then the following must be adhered to in order to avoid continuation of fees, and in order to receive a refund for monies already paid;

  • A doctors note must be provided confirming the injury/illness for the period of missed session(s)/block time
  • The club must be made aware of any injury or illness for which a potential refund will be sought within 1 week of that injury/illness commencing
  • The injury or illness absence will be reviewed on a “Block” by block basis and the club reserves the right to request further medical confirmation that illness or injury is preventing the child(ren) from accessing their “allocated space”

A refund will be due for any payments made for sessions that could not be accessed as a result of the injury or illness and in line with the confirmations required above.

The club will always try to ensure that the “allocated space” is held open for the injured/ill child at no cost. The club will only fill the “allocated space” if the above requirements are not met, or in consultation with the parent/guardian of the child.

In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Session(s) in accordance with our refunds policy (set out below).

You agree to waive your statutory right of cancellation of a Contract concluded at a distance if the Session(s) begin at any time within the seven working day cancellation period and your child takes their place on the Session within that time. This is because you agree to the Session starting before the end of the usual cancellation period provided by law and therefore your cancellation rights end when the Session begins.

If you cancel a Contract you may receive a refund in accordance with our refunds policy (set out below).

To cancel a Contract, you must inform us by email or by telephone. If this cancellation is made after the Sessions begin you must stop your child(ren) from attending any remaining sessions.
