Aims and Ob'ectives
To continue to promote any charitable purposes within the area of Gymn&8tics and give special
priority to the involvement and development within the local community and schools. It is always
our intention to offer enjoyable gymnastics to the wide spectrum of children who attend our club
from those who just enjoy one hour a week to work safely on the apparatus to learn skills to those
who are very competitive to give them the opportunity to develop and improve and develop their
various skills. Plus. we have now included General Gymnastics wheTe the main skills ￿e tumble and
trampette. 50 that those children who are not comfortable with the bars and beam requirements cau
enjoy development and the opportunity to compete and enjoy the success of the awards also.
We now involve 13-year-olds, as British Gymnastics bave lowered the age, who are interested in
shadowing coaching staff and continue to develop our young teenagers which is the first official step
as a coach and then they are in a position to continue that development to higher levels when they are
slightly older and interested in developing a possible coaching career. In fact all of our members of
staff have developed through that system and now have their own families and homes whilst
continuing to love and be involved with gymnastics.
Strncture and Policies
The club is run by our executive comn]ittee who are made up of Chaimian, Leader, Secretary,
Treasurer, Fund Raising Representatives and Trustees, plus our Welfare Officers. which we have
two: and representatives from the Girls Artistic and Boys Artistic, are Invited to give OT send in their
reports on various events and achievements. Plus, we do now have various sub-committees in place
for finance, coaching and fi￿draISing matters.
Fund raising activities continue with an in house for our beginner and interniediate gYn￿asts and
various gym parties etc.
Many more of the Norfolk County schools attend sessions, within the school period, which the staff
nu] and liase with the teachers present, with the finale being a sm811 demonstration from our still
enthusiastic staff who are all ex-competitor5.
We are continuing the policy of keeping the training fees as low as possible but unfortunately, with
our sudden exorbitant gas and electricity bills we are very stretched to pay those bills at the moment.
The new non-competitive class for our ex-competition gymnasts who love the sport and just want to
enjoy the sport without the pressure of competitions has been very popular. Consequently, we see the
older teenagers still working and enjoying their sport of gymnastics.
Plus we continue to support the Work Experience activity in conjunction with the local schools
which is as popular as ever and another activity that has been really successful in bringing young
people into the sport as coaches and giving them a little insight into work ethics.

Activities
l. Girls Artistic G
astics
The Girls groups still remain the biggest gTOUP of children attending the club from Recreational,
Beginners and Intern]ediates. through to our top competitOTS.
2.Bo
s Artistic G
At the moment the boy5 section still remains quite small, but we have seen not only succes5 Wlth our
top competitive perforniers, but also success and more development with our ProgTessive and
Intern]ediate boys groups.
4. Pre-school
Unforttmately, although we hope to re-start our Pre-school sessions, the cost of nulning the facility
does not make it fe&sible to start the session again at the moment.
5 Coachin
Our enthusiastic coaches continue to attend coaching clinics and higher-level coaching courses to
fiffther their knowledge and to help our members to continue to develop and enjoy the 5POrt. Some of
our young coaches have been able to commence the first main levels of coaching online which has
been essential to keep the Coaches involved with their own personal development and PTogress. Plus,
two of the staff aTe tn the process of taking the higher level 3 and 4 awards, due to the lockdown
setting them back to complete the award.
FinanciaI R ort
The accounts show a loss of income for the year of £3,441 compared to a excess of £2.073 the
previous ye￿, due to the huge increases in the gas and electricity bills.
On the brighter side we did run the popular Easter and Summer School training events during the
school holidays wF)ich rdised £7,580.
Fortunately, our in-house award scheme brought in £3.810 and Club competition £2,415.
Main areas for essential expenditure were.. - l) Insurance foT building & contents
