Cancellations must be communicated to the membership administration by parents/members. To cancel, send an email to ledenadministratie@gvVoorwaarts.nl, attn Ingrid Kanen. Always mention the name, address, and date of birth when canceling. Trainers are not responsible for terminating the membership.
You will always receive a confirmation of cancellation, including the end date. If you don’t receive a message, please contact the membership administration again. Tip: Check your spam/junk mail. We have a cancellation policy of one full calendar month. Cancellation in January has an end date of February 28th, cancellation in February has an end date of March 31st, etc. The membership fee will not be retroactively adjusted or refunded. This is because the costs are incurred by the association in advance.
Until the end date, you are welcome to continue participating in our classes. If you change your mind within the cancellation period, the cancellation can be revoked free of charge. Once the cancellation period has passed, you will need to register again through the website, and there will be associated registration fees. This is because the registration with the KNGU federation needs to be amended, for which these registration fees are charged.
A membership cannot be transferred to another member. This is because each member has their own unique, individual federation number from the KNGU gymnastics federation, combined with a membership number from the club.
If you have any questions, please contact the membership administration at: ledenadministratie@gvVoorwaarts.nl.
It is possible to temporarily change your membership to an ‘inactive membership’. This means the following:
Someone can become an inactive member in cases of long-term illness, pregnancy, or if they simply want to remain a member of the association without attending active lessons or being a cadre member.
An inactive member does NOT have the right to participate in lessons but has all other rights, such as voting rights at the general member meetings, federation membership, and anniversaries. An inactive membership can commence when a member doesn’t participate in lessons for more than one period (= 2 months).
The membership fee for an inactive membership is set to 0.00 euros. However, the federation membership fee will still be collected. This is because the association pays the federation membership fee for inactive members to the gymnastics federation, which we as an association have no control over.
On the website under the “membership fee” button, you can see what the costs are for this. The federation membership fee is always collected in January. A member can choose to become an inactive member or cancel the membership and rejoin later. (For your information: registration costs are 10 euros)
Refunds for already collected membership fees unfortunately cannot be returned. If a member decides to become an inactive member and later still wants to cancel the membership, the remaining amount for the notice period will still be collected. If there is a waiting list for the lesson, the lesson spot will be made available for a new member. The inactive member will be placed at the top of the waiting list and can join as soon as they wish, and a spot becomes available.
