Frequently Asked Questions

The basic rate is £5 per session which must be paid in advance for the full term . All fees are pro-rata, by this we mean that if you join part way through a term, you only pay for the sessions that are left. Most terms are 12 weeks which means the cost for the a whole term of one session is £60. A discount is available for multiple sessions - see below.

• The membership fee covers one member from 1st October 2012 through 30th September 2013, which is how British Gymnastics (BG) membership years run. It must be paid in advance as the club insurance is through BG which requires all our members to be BG registered. Membership of ECGA is also included.
• For new members we need all the details on the membership form – either on the form itself or just in an email is fine.
• Note that the membership fee is separate to session fees which are payable in advance each term for each session.

Any further sessions are then reduced by £2 per session. With the current rate of £5 per session, this means the second session is £4 and any more are £3 a session.

At Cangaroos your first taster session is free. If you would like to come for a taster session please see our training page for our session days and times to see which session(s) you prefer. Then drop us an email at info@cangaroos.org to let us know when you would like to come. Please email us before so we can ensure the session is not over crowded.

Once you are sure you want to attend a session for a whole term drop us an email at info@cangaroos.org with the session you want. Providing there is space the space will be assigned to you so please fill out our booking form (link is on the right above the twitter feed) and bring it with you. You will also need to bring payment for your BG Membership if you do not already have it - details of this are on the booking form.

All sessions (apart from the squad sessions) are for all abilities. We may group performes of certain ability together inside a session to aid their learning experience.

We are always keen for extra pairs of hands to help out with the club. The committee meets monthly to organise events, training, competitions etc. If you would like to apply for a currently held position please drop us an email at info@cangaroos.org and we will put your forward for a vote at the next AGM (usually around June).

If you believe you would like to help in an area we have not thought of then please email us - we always appreciate extra help!

To coach at one of our sessions you must have atleast attended our Session Helper class or hold a current BG Coach Level. You will also need a current CRB and British Gymnastics Membership. We are always happy to accept new coaches or train new ones. Apart from our session helper courses all other courses are organised by British Gymnastics so please drop us an email if you are intrested to info@cangaroos.org.

Not usually as it would prevent us filling that spot with a full-time member – it also adds to the admin workload (for the unpaid committee volunteers). However, existing members already doing at least one full session can be considered for adhoc bouncing in sessions that have spaces. This is at the discretion of the treasurer and the coach for the adhoc session though and must be checked with them in advance.

No, you will only pay for however many sessions are left in the term.

Holiday sessions are run across the summer holdiays in Augst and are pay as you go on the night. Places cannot be guaranteed and payment must be given in cash.
