​club governance

Woking Gymnastics Club is registered with the Charities Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with a formal constitution.  There are four trustees of the Club who are ultimately accountable. The trustees are all volunteers - indeed, Charity law prohibits them from receiving any payment - and they are elected for three years by Club members at the Annual General Meeting.  The current Committee are all parents of current or past squad gymnasts.
The Trustees can form Sub-Committees of volunteers and staff members to concentrate on certain critical aspects of the Club's operations.  Current and past committees include:
  • Executive Committee:  assisting the Trustees and Club Management in the operations of the Club, acting as a conduit for parents to engage in the Club
  • Operating Committee: focusing on day-to-day operations, administration, finance, facilities, IT, marketing and similar activities
  • Strategy Committee: looking at the long-term growth strategy for the Club that supports our Vision
  • Staff Development Committee: responsible for ensuring that we develop our coaching and administrative staff, providing opportunities for them to increase their skills through on the job and formal training
  • Community Committee: leading outreach into the local community to increase our engagement with local youth organisations and develop awareness of the sport of gymnastics
  • Social Committee: harnesses the enthusiasm of our members and their parents to arrange social events and fund-raising activities for the Club.

The Club is always keen for new volunteers to get involved; if you would like to participate in any of the above activities, please reach out to a Trustee or contact the Club Manager
