Commission (ASC). GA’s national Club 10 program continues to deliver a range of exciting services and benefits to affiliated clubs. In 2007 GA trialled a new initiative in NSW called the Star 3 Workshop series. This aims to assist clubs in working through the Club 10 Star 3 checklist with the goal to achieve national club affiliation standards. The success of the workshop series in NSW saw the subsequent scheduling of the Star 3 Workshop series in Western Australia and Tasmania.

The bi-annual Club 10 Star 4 and 5 forum was conducted by GA in March 2007 and provided an opportunity to present, seek and obtain endorsement for the revised Club 10, Star 4 and 5 criteria and assessment. The forum also provided an opportunity for clubs to contribute to the development of a range of new benefits to be incorporated into the Club 10 benefits scheme. Geoff Rietschel, Club Services Manager, is to be congratulated for his continued development and work in the Club Services portfolio, into which Club 10 falls.

Once again, it is extremely pleasing to note increases in both athlete and technical membership in 2007. Whilst club membership remains unchanged it is encouraging to see an increasing number of clubs move through the Club 10 program and improve their star accreditation. Thanks are extended to Ben Kerswill, Rachael Herdman and Suimai Hare for their continued work in servicing GA’s National Membership program.

The Business and Services unit continues to drive a range of innovative projects, programs and services aimed at streamlining the sport. GA is well positioned to capitalise upon the investment made in previous years to drive an exciting range of increased benefits and services to all members of the gymnastics community.
