NWG Classes Suspended

To our Gym Families, Gymnasts, Coaches and Gym Community,

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that as of today, Monday 23^rd March, North West Gymnastics will close its doors temporarily for the remaining duration of Term 1, and for the foreseeable and as yet unknown future. Last night the Prime Minister announced the decision of the National Cabinet to ban many services seen as non-essential around the country this includes Indoor Sporting Venues.

I am very aware that this decision will affect our 500 plus current members, and that some 12 casual staff will not have access to their normal wages during this time. I am also very aware that the duration of the closure is unknown and that the longer the duration of the closure, the more difficult it will be to restart operations.

I want to thank all of you for your support in these uncertain and anxious times and applaud you for assisting us with the additional hygiene measures and our amended operational guidelines that were implemented over the last few weeks.

I am hopeful that we can endure this time of forced closure and reopen when circumstances permit to once again not just teach gymnastics and fundamental movement but to deliver on our values of Enjoyment, Life Skills, Growth Mindset, Commitment and Honesty.

Our coaches are committed to you our members, we love what we do which makes the good times better and the tough times worth it. We will draw on the strength, resilience and grit that we have instilled and developed not just in your children but also in ourselves.

To our gymnasts, we are not abandoning you and we know that it sucks to no longer have training at the gym to look forward to but don’t despair. Each of your coaches are working to provide you with super fun ways to keep up your training, help you stay active and healthy it will just be a little different to normal and may take a few days for us to get this up and running. Take a few days to let this sink in. It’s not forever.

You may be wondering what will happen with payments made for classes for the remainder of this term. Our commitment to you is to hold these funds in credit towards classes when we are able to open our doors again. It may be weeks from now or even months, but we stand by our club policies regarding cancelled classes. For Term 2 as we do not yet know when we will be able to open to run classes, we will continue to process re-enrolments for current students and you will have the following options available:
