Aims and Ob"ectives
Our aims and objectives remain the same to continue to promote activities and skills within the area
of Gymnastics and give speciaI priority to the involvemenL development and guidance Hithtu the
local community and schools. It is always our intention to offer enjoyable gymn&stlCS to the wide
spectnun of children who attend our club from those who just enjoy one hour a week to work safely
on the apparat￿ to learn skills to those who are very ¢ompetitive to 8ive them the opportunity to
develop aJ]d impTove and develop their various skills. Plus. introducing General Gymnastics has
given our enthwiastic members so much opportimity and variety so tbat they continue to enjoy the
sport but also enjoy the more relaxed approach to General Gymnastics in the competition sttucture
they are involved with where there are more and more rewards for more separate apparatus Nvbich
include the trampette opportunities.
We continue to involve 13-year-olds to help develop coaching responsibilitie4 as British GYMn￿ticS
have lowered the age, who are interested in shadowlng 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 facL all of our Merni￿[S of staff have developed through that system and now
have their own families and homes whilst continuing to love and be involved with gymnastics.
tructure and Policies
The club is run by our executive committee who are made up of Cha1rn)a￿ t£ader, Secretary,
Treasurer, Fund Raising Representatives and Trustees, plus our Welfare Officer, who has recently
completed the up-to-date course and had her own children involved in the sport so understands the
needs and the itnportance of the role. Plu4 we do now have vaTiOUS suIFcommittees in place for
finance, coaching and fundraising matters.
Fund raising activities continue with an in house competition for our beginner and intermediate
gymnasts and various gyrn parties etc.
Local Norfolk County schools book and attend sessions. within the school period. which the staff njn
and liase with the teachers presenL with the finale being a small demonstration from our still
enthusiastic staff who are all ex-¢ompetitOT& which always gives the teachers and school children an
extra lift before they leave the building.
We are continuing the policy of keeping the traintng 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 cl&ss for our ex-comiKtition gymnasts who love the sport and just want to
enjoy the sport without the pressure of competitions and continues to be 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 popuIar as ever and another activity that has ken reaIly suc¢essfill in bringing young
people into the sport as coaches and giVi￿g theffi a little insight into work ethics.
Activitie
l. Girls Artistic
astics
The Girls groups still remain the biggest group of children attending the club from Recreational,
Begirmers and Intem]ediates. through to our top COIn￿titorS.
2. Bo s Artistic
nastics
At the Tnoment the Erf)ys section still remains quifr small, but we have seen not only success with our
top competitive perforniers, but also success and more development WAth our Progressive and
Intermediate boys groups.
4. Pre-school
Unfortunately, although we hope to re-start our pre-school sessions. the cost of running the facility
does not make it feasible to start the session again at the moment. However. it is still our intention to
offer the pre-school s¢ssions as soon &8 possible.
5 Coacbin
Our enthusiastic coaches continue to attend coaching clinics and higber-level coaching courses to
fiuther their knowledge and to help our members to conttnue to develop and enjoy the sport. Some of
our young coaches have been able to commence the first main levels of coaching online which h&s
been essential to keep the coaches involved with their own personal development and progress. Plus,
one member of staff has achieved his Level 4 award and aoother is attending her Level 3 award
courses when they are available.

The accounts show an excess of income for the year of £9,960 Compared to a loss of income £3,246
the previous year.
