On-line fee paying facility introduced

Many of you have asked if we can introduce the option of an on-line fee paying facility.
We are very pleased to tell you that we now can.
You now have the option to pay fees online by PayPal, credit card or debit card.
To do this, simply go to www.saturnv.co.uk and click on the "pay class fees on line here" button. It really is quite easy - have a look.
You can of course continue to pay your fees as before by cash or cheque directly with the coach or by posting to the office. This new facility just gives you another option which some of you may find convenient.
Within the next few months it is planned that you will also be able to order and pay for club clothing on line.

 

Gymnastic class displays

Starting this year, we are going to hold three gymnastic display evenings each year; one near Easter, one in the summer and one near Christmas. The displays will be held during your child’s usual lesson time and you and your family will be invited to stay to watch.
For the Mon 6.30 class, the display will comprise a mini competition.
On these display evenings an award will be made to the gymnast who, in the view of the coaches, has made the most progress since the last class display.
The purpose of the displays will be to give parents an opportunity to see what their children are working on and to see how they are progressing. They will also give children a focus and hopefully give them a further incentive to develop their abilities.

The first gymnastics class displays this year will be on the following dates:
Monday classes: 24th April
Wednesday classes: 22 nd March
Friday classes: 24 th March

Recent competitions

The November 2005 Inter-Club trampolining competition was held at the Keys in Horley.
6 year old trampolinist, Jessica Hann became Saturn V Gym Club’s youngest ever competition gold medal winner. She achieved first place in the Winstrada Grade 8 category. Jessica from Old Coulsdon, has been trampolining from the age of 4 and trains at the de Stafford Sports Centre branch of the club in Caterham.

 

 

The December 2005 North Surrey Acro competition was hosted by Saturn V and was also held at the Keys centre in Horley.
Pictured here are Saturn V gymnasts Urma Cox (8) from Whyteleafe and Cecily Bateman (7) from Tatsfield. This was the first ever sports acro competition either of them have entered. They both gave a very polished performance and scored well.

Members' satisfaction survey

Congratulations to Fiona Dunbar and Susan Burgess who achieved the highest scores in the December members' satisfaction survey. Each scored a very impressive average score of 9.875out of 10.
Fiona coaches pre-school gymnastics at the Keys Centre and Susan coaches special needs trampolining at William Road and the Keys Centre and pre-school trampolining 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 January prize draw which is included with the members' satisfaction survey was Joshua Viggiani who attends the Saturday 11.00 Trampolining class at William Road. Joshua wins for his parents, a three course meal for 2 with wine courtesy of the Good Companions bar and restaurant in Hamsey Green.
