Below is how the lifting of restrictions will change things at the club from the 19th of July.

There will no longer be a queuing system to enter the club. Your child may enter through the front door as normal and then enter the gym through the door directly in front of them. Please use the QR code on arrival.
Hand Sanitiser and Cleaning
In order to keep everyone as safe as possible, we will still be sanitising gymnasts hands throughout the sessions and will frequently cleaning the gym. Parents please feel free to use the hand sanitiser in reception.
The Changing Rooms
We will be reopening our changing rooms, however we recommend that you still use these with caution and as little as possible. We recommend your child still come dressed ready for their session. If you need to take your child up to the changing rooms, we recommend you wear a facemask and ask that you come to reception to sanitise your hands (or use your own) before doing so.
The Viewing Gallery
We will also be reopening our viewing gallery so you are able to watch your child, however we recommend you limit it’s use. If you choose to use the viewing gallery, we recommend you wear a facemask and ask that you come to reception to sanitise your hands (or use your own) before doing so.
Exiting the Club
Children will be dismissed from the gym through the main gym door and will be allowed to leave when the coach in charge has seen their parent/guardian.
Coach Contact/Support
British Gymnastics have also allowed the return of coach contact/supporting the gymnasts whilst they learn skills. All coaches are sanitising their hands regularly and will only be supporting where necessary. If you have any concerns on this then please don’t hesitate to talk to either Beth or Katrina.
Many thanks,

CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19) – NHS Test and Trace Service
As you are probably aware it is a Government requirement that Rowan Gymnastics Club keeps records of which gymnasts, staff and visitors have been at the club, at what day/time they were at the club and their contact information. Although our office and viewing gallery remain closed, there are instances where parents or older members may still be in the building, for example a parent and child class or an adult class. Therefore, there is now the option to scan the NHS QR code displayed at the entrance to the club if you wish to be part of the NHS test and trace service. For more information about the NHS test and trace service app, please paste the link below into an internet browser.
