Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why a lottery club?
A. Fundraising and fun!

Q. What will the money raised be used for?
A. It will all go towards gym equipment, events, and transport.

Q. When will the lottery be drawn?
A. Four balls are drawn each month. The first wins £100 the next 3 win £20. Twice a year we replace the £100 draw with a £1,000 draw.

Q. What are the prizes?
A. £20, £100 or £1000!!!!!!!!!

Q. But with prizes like that, how much will be raised for the club?
A. The lottery current produces a surplus for the club. Every new ball sold adds to that surplus that allows us to purchase better equipment for the gym.

Q. How much will playing the lottery cost?
A. £1 per number per week

Q. How many numbers can I have?
A. You can have as many as you like! One for each member of the family would be great!

Q. How will I pay my £1?
A. By standing order through your bank, as we could not hope to collect a weekly £1 coin from everyone. We don’t want anyone to miss out though, so if you are not happy about doing this, just be in touch and we will try to sort something out for you.

Q. How do I get a number?
A. Pick up a form from gymnastics or print the form and return the application form to the gym club and taking the standing order to your bank. If you have trouble getting to the bank, we can drop it in for you, but you should put the form in a sealed envelope. You will be put in the draw the month after your first payment.

Q. What actually happens at a draw?
A. All the numbers are placed in a specially made, very large(!) bag and the winning number is usually drawn by a very enthusiastic gymnast! The winner is then notified and handed a cheque a.s.a.p. The draw is done openly in front of all those at the gym that night.

Q. Are there any special rules for playing the lottery that I should be aware of?
A. Yes. People under 16 can not have a ticket directly in their name. Also ticket holders have to be members, friends or acquaintances of SGA.

Q. How do I set up a standing order at the bank?
A. You must first complete the standing order part of the application form and then drop it in at your Bank. The Treasurer will keep an eye on the fundraising account to make sure the first payment has been done properly for you.

Q Why is the standing order for £4.34 per month?
A. It is because there are some 4 week months and some 5 week months. £52 (£1 each week) divided by 12 (months) equals £4.34.

Q. What about getting my ticket in time for the two big draws?
A. To have your number in for the £1000 draw you must have been a fully paid up member the lottery for at least 12 weeks before the date of the draw.

Q. What will happens when I no longer want to be in the lottery?
A. You need to notify the Treasurer and cancel your standing order with your Bank. Your number will come out of the draw after the last payment has been made.

Q. Who will oversee the lottery and make sure that it is run properly?
A. The Fundraising Committee has a constitution for the lottery, a copy of which you can check at any time. Just ask.

Helping the gym sessions run smoothly!

Gymnasts using the Toilet!

To help the smooth running of the sessions please make sure your child goes to the toilet before their session commences. Gymnasts may use the toilet during class however this will be unsupervised as the coaches can not leave their groups unattended. If you do not want your child to go to the toilet on their own please make sure an adult stays in the waiting area while the session is in progress. 

Reception!

Sorry if there is no one at the desk all the coaches are currently busy. Please leave any payments in the payment boxes in the waiting area. If you have any questions please write a note and contact in the note book or alternatively email info@scarboroughgymnastics.co.uk.

Many Thanks 🙂

 

Congratulations to all the SGA Gymnasts selected for the 2nd Phase of the Northern TeamGym Zonal Squad!

SGA would like to congratulate the following gymnasts for their successful selection for the 2nd Phase of the Northern TeamGym Squad.

Jo Pattison, Damien Quinton, Megan Coates, Brodie Aziz, Bethany Morley – Scarborough

Megan Coates – Whitby

Alice Morbey, Abbie Davison – Pickering

Phase 2 will require lots of additional training away at other venues which is a massive commitment for the gymnasts, coaches and families involved, but will be a fantastic experience.  In May 2016 the Northern Teams will compete against the Southern Zonal team and all competitors will be ranked within the UK, the very best will form the very first GB Teamgym Squad.   If any members of SGA are successful making it onto the team, they will represent Great Britain in the European Championships 2016!

Phase 1 has really inspired all the gymnasts, they are now training in preparation for Phase 2.  We have seen lots of determination, enthusiasm, hard work and new skills been developed which is amazing.  Keep up the hard work guys! 🙂

Brave Bobbie walks in memory of dad

bobbie starlight walk ld

Ten-year-old Bobbie Gracie asked if she could take part in the hospice fundraiser after spotting a roadside banner for the walk and realising it fell on what would have been her dad’s 55th birthday.

It will also be exactly a year since Kenneth Gracie, known to everyone as “Kat”, found out on his birthday that he was suffering from lung cancer.

After battling the illness for months, he was told he was terminally ill in April on the same day Bobbie’s mum, Heather Brown, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is currently undergoing treatment.

Bobbie, a pupil of Newby and Scalby School, said she wanted to take part in the walk to raise money for the hospice which had helped her dad.

“When I saw it was on his birthday, I really wanted to do it,” she said.

Bobbie has already shown incredible bravery by taking part in a national competition with Scarborough Gymnastics Academy just days after losing her dad. She helped her team secure second place.

Now she is preparing for another tough challenge, walking 6.5 miles well into the night to help the hospice. She will be walking with Dane Ramos, partner of her cousin, Rachel Clark.

Her mum said that taking part had been Bobbie’s own idea after losing her dad, a local builder.

“He was only in the hospice for two-and-a-half days but Saint Catherine’s was absolutely brilliant,” she said.

And she feels that Kat would have been so impressed by Bobbie’s bravery.

“He would have been so proud,” she said.

Bobbie can be sponsored via her JustGiving page at https://www.justgiving.com/Bobbie-Gracie

.

*To walk with Bobbie and hundreds of other supporters, sign up now at http://www.starlightwalk.co.uk or call us on (01723) 378406. REGISTRATION IN ADVANCE IS ESSENTIAL AND THE FINAL DEADLINE IS ON FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER AT NOON.
