FEBRUARY 2007

 

Welcome back to everyone & a special welcome to our new members.  We hope that you will find as much enjoyment in Calisthenics as our existing girls do & that you will make lots of friends along the way.

 

Welcome back to our coaches – Renee, Kylie, Leila, Vicki, Deb & Rosie, with a special welcome to Kim, the newest member of our coaching staff.  Also to our wonderful assistants, Rebecca, Kylie, Penny, Mel, Hayley, Erin, Sarah, Casey, Aimee, Rachel, Madeline, Gemma & Laura.

 

Annual General Meeting : Monday 26^th February at 7:00 pm at the Mason St. Hall

Everyone is most welcome to attend the AGM to vote in a new committee for 2007.  All positions will be made vacant at the meeting, so we would encourage you to use your skills to help support & further develop the club.  It is essential that all sections of the club are represented on the committee, so have a think about committing to one meeting a month to have your say.

 

Registration Nights: Monday 26^th/Tuesday 27^th February.

All girls are required to be registered on the above nights & a registration form & a medical form are attached to this newsletter.  Registration to Calisthenics Victoria is $47 per pupil & $30 is also required in your dress bank account on registration night.  Please return the completed forms, together with the required amount to class on 26^th or 27^th February.

 

Fees 2007:

The committee has kept the fees as affordable as possible while ensuring that we cover our basic costs without requiring excessive fundraising. Please note that fees are due 3 times per year, by the end of school terms 1,2 & 3 & a 10% discount applies if the yearly fee is paid in full by 26^th/27^th March. Term fees do not have to be paid in a lump sum if you find it easier to pay some each week or on a regular basis.

 

Tinies              $75 per term                     $225 per year

Subbies           $85 per term                      $255 per year

Juniors            $100 per term                    $300 per year

Inters              $120 per term                    $360 per year

Seniors           $130 per term                    $390 per year

 

Please note to assist with cash flow problems that are experienced early each year when the club is required to pay so many things in advance, each pupil will be given their competition levy account during Term 1 & this will be payable with 1^st term fees.  Also we request that each girl has at least $100 in their dress bank account by the end of Term 2.  The majority of material, lace, sequins etc are purchased by this time & the club has difficulty carrying their costs till the end of the calisthenic year.  If everyone endeavours to place $5 per week in their dress bank, this amount will be easily achieved.

 

 

 

 

 

Costumes:

If you are unable to sew costumes, we have many wonderful mums who will assist, but there is a fee for each costume made.  We found some of our sewing mums were becoming quite frazzled trying to complete costumes for many girls so we feel they should be remunerated for their efforts.

 

Please put these dates in your diaries:

Mon 26^th February         AGM

18^th – 20^th May              Camp for all Juniors, Inters & Seniors & Mums.  Details to follow.

Friday 19^th November   Annual Concert

 

“Bring a Friend” night:  Mon 12^th/Tuesday 13^th February

All girls are encouraged to bring a friend or friends next week to have a look at calisthenics.

They may like to join in & have a go, or just watch.  This is the chance to show your friends just what calisthenics is.

 

Waterbottles:

Could all girls please bring their own waterbottle to class each week as we don’t have access to many glasses or cups at the halls & the assistant coaches are spending their classtime providing drinks for the girls.  Please ensure that your daughter’s drinkbottle is named.

 

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
