October 2024 Newsletter
New Door System/Fundraising
We have had the new coded door entry system for a few weeks now. Codes and updated drop off and collection procedures have been emailed out to parents and staff. Please do not allow anyone in behind you when entering the gym. At busy class changeovers the door will still be manned by a member of staff. The cost of installing has been significant so if you are able to donate to help contribute to the cost of the new system and future improvements to the club please do so here; https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/penkethgymnastics?utm_term=ZRDKgZkzv
