British Gymnastics Membership
Tekne Gymnastics is registered with British Gymnastics, the governing body for gymnastics in the UK; this means that all our gymnasts must become BG members also. All members receive a monthly letter from British Gymnastics keeping them up to date with events in the world of Gymnastics.
Due to data protection laws, parents must now register their child's membership with British Gymnastics themselves. Payment, however, is included in the Tekne membership fee and once you have registered your child, Susi will then vaildate their insurance with British Gymnastics. You can contact Susi either on 07972 591077 by email to susi@teknegymnastics.com for more information.
This gym is about positive attitudes. From the "can do" approach toward all athletes to seeing the staff enthusiastically praise a gymnast when they get a new tumbling skill.
