TELEPHONE NUMBER – WELSH GYMNASTICS

Monday, August 21st, 2023

Please see the latest email received from Welsh Gymnastics

A new telephone system for Welsh Gymnastics
 
You spoke, we listened.

During some of our recent consultations, member feedback included challenges that individuals sometimes faced in reaching us or getting answers to queries, via our telephone lines.

In response to this feedback, Welsh Gymnastics have partnered with Transport for Wales in order to provide a brand new, fully bilingual, receptionist system.

Through this system, all calls will be answered and dealt with straight away, where possible – or redirected to the relevant member of staff best placed to help.

Calls will be monitored to continually improve our customer service experience and the information provided by Welsh Gymnastics. 

We ask that all members now call our 0300 3003127 telephone number, rather than the British Gymnastics number, to receive the information relevant for Wales.

A REMINDER ABOUT SAFETY AND RULES – JEWELLERY AND NAILS

Thursday, August 3rd, 2023

All parents/carers – we wanted to broadcast this safety notice as there has been a growing trend in the number of children wearing jewellery and false nails (acrylics) to gym. Firstly, with jewellery – we cannot permit a child to take part in gymnastics who is wearing jewellery of any kind. Likewise our coaching staff remove their items of jewellery and watches etc.. to teach the children. The only tolerance is that newly pierced stud earrings may be covered up with tape from home and worn during the lesson.

With regards to acrylics (false nails), we cannot allow children or coaching staff to wear these items during gymnastics. I am sure that this is the rule for almost every sports club affiliated to a National Governing Body and definitely the rule in school PE lessons. Please make sure that your child is not wearing acrylics as they will not be allowed to participate in the gymnastic lesson at our Academy.

Thanks for your continued support of our academy and rules.
