Session, membership and insurance charges
Session rates
All session charges are based on a rate of £6.00 for a 90-minute session. We invoice members quarterly in advance covering 4 quarter 'terms' being September - November, December - February, March - May and June - August.
Membership charge
There is an annual club membership fee due on 1st Sept each year which covers the club affiliation to British Gymnastics and our own club insurance for equipment etc. These fees are also due for part-year membership with some small reductions in the last few months of each membership year.
Membership benefits
As well as the membership benefits from British Gymnastics, Brentwood trampoline Club is keen to identify other benefits of belonging to the club - in particular it has identified a number of Shopping opportunities to either help save money for yourself or help to keep costs down for the club (which helps control fees). Please check out our Shopping area for more details.
