Running any business can be a challenge, and Gymnastics Clubs are no exception.

Today on R U OK? Day why not pick up the phone and put a call in to another club owner or operator and ask them R U OK?

We want to hear from you!

We’re looking at new ways to make it easier for GCA members to connect, communicate and share ideas with each other.

One option we’re exploring is Slack — a dedicated online space where GCA members could:

👥 Connect with other club owners and managers
💬 Ask questions and share ideas
🤝 Learn from other clubs and their experiences
📣 Stay up to date with GCA news and opportunities
💡 Share useful resources, recommendations and solutions

Before we make any decisions, we want to know what you think.

Would you use a GCA Slack community?

👍 YES — I'd use it
👎 NO — it's not for me

Vote in the poll and let us know what you think.

Have an alternate platform that you love? share it in the comments below and tell us why you love it

Your feedback will help us shape how GCA connects and supports members — because the best networks are built with clubs, not just for clubs.

📅 Thursday 17 September (originally scheduled for the week, but well worth the wait!).

A great opportunity to pick up practical ideas you can take straight back to your club.
