New On-line fee paying facility very well received
The introduction of online fee payments as an option has been extremely popular with many of you choosing to pay your fees this way.
To use the online facility, simply go to www.saturnv.co.uk and click on the "Pay club fees here" button.
Shortly we will introduce the facility to order and pay for club clothing online also.
Gymnastic class displays
The first gymnastic class displays were held in March: 22nd March for Wednesday classes and 24th March for Friday classes. Parents were invited to watch which gave them an opportunity to see what their children are learning in their classes. It also gave children who would not normally want to take part in competitions an opportunity to perform in front of an audience without the pressure of a formal event. A medal was awarded in each class to the child who, in the opinion of the coaches, has made the most progress in gymnastics so far this year. The winners were: Wednesday 4.00 Katie Day; Wednesday 5.00 Megan Abbot; Wednesday 6.00William Porter; Friday 4.00 Becky Kidby; Friday 5.00 Alice Merry; Friday 6.00;
Jake Turner.
The
Friday 7.00 class have an annual award called the "Fay Greene Award for progress". This is a trophy that was donated to the club by the family of Fay Greene who used to attend this class many years ago and is presented annually.
Pictured here is Georgina Donovan who won the "Fay Greene" trophy for progress made during 2005.
Monday class displays will be held on 24th April.

Recent competitions
February's Inter Club Trampolining Competition was held at Royal Alexandra & Albert School. We had the use of the school's impressive new tiered seating system which enabled everyone to have a clear, uninterupted view. There were several children competitng for the very first time in this competition, which is very encouraging and would indicate that our coaches are doing an excellent job of helping children to improve.
Pictured her are the medal winners.
Horley Acro competition and display. This was held at the Keys Centre in February and all members of the Friday 6.00 and 7.00 classes took part.
Pictured here are a group from the 6.00 class showing their end of routine balance.
Also the earpiece picture on the top right of this newsletter shows the 7.00 class in the middle of their group routine.
The Surrey Floor and Vault competition was held in March at the Keys Centre. 30 gymnasts took part: 15 from Saturn V and 15 from Warlingham School Gym Club. It was a very enjoyable competition with a very relaxed atmosphere. Not at all intimidating for those who were competitng for the first time. Pictured here is Courtnay Jackson from Horley who won the silver medal for vaulting.
Forthcoming Competitions
Inter Club Trampolining Competition all grades Saturday 10th June at the Keys Centre, Horleye. Starts 2.00pm.

New Class
Stacey is starting a new gymnastics class at the Keys Centre in Horley. It will be by invitation only to members who want to attend an additional class to train seriously in floor and vault for competitions. The class will be on Thursdays from 5.00 to 6.30
Saturn V team up with Super Tramp to promote safety on garden trampolines.
Super Tramp, the UK's largest retailer of garden trampolines has joined forces with Saturn V to promote safety on garden trampolines.
From 1st April this year every Super Tramp garden trampoline sold in the East Surrey area will include a voucher for two free lessons at one of Saturn V's eight trampoline club venues.
Super Tramp sales manager, Jason Richardson said," a recent RoSPA report highlighted the potential for injury on garden trampolines and we felt this initiative (with Saturn V) would be very useful for inexperienced bouncers who will be taught the basics together with correct and safe procedures before they have a chance to get into bad habits."
Members' satisfaction survey
Congratulations to Fiona Dunbar who achieved the highest scores in the March members' satisfaction survey. She scored a very impressive average score of 9.24 out of 10.
Fiona coaches pre-school gymnastics at the Keys Centre and also does holiday cover for Funfit and Gymnastics also at the Keys Centre.
Many thanks to all of you who took the time to complete the survey. Your comments are really appreciated and help us to improve the service we and all the coaches provide.
Winner of the March prize draw which is included with the members' satisfaction survey was Georgina Cotton who attends trampolining classes at the Warlingham School branch of the club. Georgina wins for her parents, a three course meal for 2 with wine - courtesy of the Good Companions bar and restaurant in Hamsey Green.
