Sussex Gymnastics County Treasurers Report

1 April to 31 December 2025

At the end of the year there is no activity all competitions have finished and agreed financially with the respective organisers.

This year has again been very successful adding funds to the county account, while at the same time recognising and rewarding the effort put in by those  organisers and judges as without their commitment competitions would not take place.

This has enabled us to continue are efforts to make “Sussex Great” by using those funds to invest in our training grants and high-performance grants to gymnasts at all levels within Sussex.

To date 11 Clubs have received our 50% grants towards their training costs as well as 6 gymnasts who have been selected to attend their country development squads

Other activities to raise our profile include purchasing kit for the team that entered the International Rushmoor competition, the balloon arch at the Acro comp, and supporting our Welfare officer to attend the national conference.

If you have a training event you want support for then please look at the training page on the county web site to find out what is available.

Finally, a further £5000 has been transferred to the savings account, this will enable us to get interest on our money which in turn helps to invest for the future.
