Q. What types of bronze membership can I offer new recreational members?

A. When a new gymnast attends your club, your insurance cover includes 2 'taster' sessions, enabling them to get a feel for what gymnastics has to offer without committing to full membership.  They can then join as a Bronze member for the rest of the membership year. In addition to the full Bronze membership we do also have a 6-week temporary membership available which can be upgraded to full membership at the end of the temporary period by paying the difference between the temporary and the full year fee.

Q. What payment methods are available to me for club and member registration?

A. Payment for club and member registration can be made by debit/credit card via our secure online payment process, by BACS, by cheque and by invoice. Paying online provides immediate registration and membership, and uses the information already stored within BGymnet.  Payment by cheque requires you to provide details of the members covered by the cheque.
