COVID in school. If your child is isolating at home due to a case in their school year, please do not send them to gym until their isolation period is complete. Thank you. Please email us if you have any questions about restrictions due to COVID at our gym.

To all our members

We are returning back to gymnastic lessons today, 9th November, after another period of lockdown. When lessons resume this evening we will continue to strictly apply all the guidelines and regulations with regard to COVID-19. Welsh Gymnastics have stated that all 11 year olds and over can continue gymnastics indoors up to a maximum of 15 gymnasts in attendance at any one time. This will not affect the children who are under 11 provided that the ratio of adult supervision is in place.

We have looked at our membership and the children that are in this category and will send emails to any groups should they be affected by the restrictions. We hope to continue lessons as per our normal programme as possible.

COVID SUPPORT AT ALL LESSONS

In order for lessons to run, we do need volunteers from parents/carers, to act as COVID Support throughout the different lessons. This involves:

Safe distancing is maintained
sanitising hands at appropriate times
cleaning of appropriate equipment after use and before start of next lesson (use of apron and gloves and correct cleaning materials)
safe arrival and dispersal of gymnasts
marking the register and checking temperature
control of entry to the gym

We will need 2 x volunteers for each lesson. Please let us know if you are able to support the lessons post-lockdown. Without COVID support, we will not run the lessons, thank you.

We are now in a period of lockdown and will return to normal sessions on Monday 9th November 2020 (unless directed otherwise by the Welsh Government). During the Lockdown period, we are hosting ZOOM sessions for all the groups. We will not advertise the ID and passcodes on this website, instead all registered members of CNGA and Welsh Gymnastics should receive an email to take part in the sessions each day this week and next. We realise that the primary school and year 7 & 8 children will return to school next week and therefore zoom sessions will run in the early evening. If you have not received an email from us detailing all the zoom sessions (including halloween quiz) please contact us via the normal route

THANKS Everyone – stay safe

As we all are now aware, Wales will be going into a National Lockdown with effect from 6pm on Friday 23rd October 2020. Welsh Gymnastics have also made a statement regarding gymnastic sessions over this period of lockdown. The statement from Welsh Gymnastics is as follows: Welsh Government announce details of circuit-breaker lockdown The First Minister has announced a circuit-breaker lockdown is to be introduced across Wales from 6pm on Friday 23 October until Monday 9 November.

As a result of this, it is regrettable that all gymnastics activity indoors, as well as activity outdoors with people outside of your own household, must once again cease for this short period.  The Welsh Government is asking everyone in Wales to stay at home as much as possible.  

You can continue to exercise outdoors, but it should start and finish at home (unless there are mobility issues) and exercise should be done alone – or only with those you live with.  Extensive FAQs, including sections on sport and exercise, are available on the Welsh Government website here: https://gov.wales/coronavirus-firebreak-frequently-asked-questions

ZOOM SESSIONS DURING LOCKDOWN

As an alternative to missed lessons during lockdown, we will be offering on line zoom sessions. All members who have completed the new registration form and who are members of Welsh/British Gymnastics will be emailed by the Academy to attend an appropriate ZOOM session during the lockdown period. If you have not already done so, please make sure your child has re-registered with Welsh Gymnastics and that you have completed the new registration form (which was sent to you and completed at the one-to-one appointment).  Please check your email and spam inbox regularly for updates from CNGA – thank you.

Following the announcement today 16TH October 2020 by Welsh Gymnastics,  all gymnasts who are members of CNGA and who reside outside of the Newport Borough,  are invited back to training from MONDAY 19TH OCTOBER 2020. Although the ban is lifted from 6pm FRIDAY 16th October, we will resume all lessons for those outside Newport from Monday 19th October.
