In order to meet a short time frame for production and supply of individually customised leotards, GK have put together the following process. This process will need to be followed by all gymnasts who are intending to wear optional leotards on Day Two (2) of competition at Australian Championships. There should be a Pre-Order placed with GK PRIOR to State Championships – as per the below requests. The Pre-Order will not be a commitment to purchase or require any payment. All orders then MUST be confirmed, finalised and paid to GK by 5pm Tuesday 14th April. This is the day after State Championships/Selection Trial. Orders for Australian Championships will not be accepted by GK after this date. Wherever possible, supply as much information as possible to GK in the Pre-Order so they can prepare materials, jewels etc and have them on the production line without delay. It is recommended that all gymnasts, whether they qualify or not, start to select their style, using the US website www.gkelite.com and go into the "Design Studio" section. There you will be able to work on colours, jewels etc and establish what your options are. The site will indicate the price for each of their options in US dollars, before jewelling, and then a total, when jewels are added as these are selected. However this is NOT the final price. As GK is a sponsor of Gymnastics Qld the leotards ordered by Qld State Team gymnasts will be subsidised to an extent, as part of the overall sponsorship. Once the design is selected through the website, the gymnasts will then need to call BRENDA at GK on 02 99705189. Brenda will work through their selection and provide a final price. Brenda will advise them individually whether they will require further documentation such as an order form with all the details applicable to their selection. At this point GK will hold these details as a Pre-Order until the gymnasts is selected or otherwise. Upon selection, confirmation and payment of the Pre-Order is required by Tuesday 14th April and GK will then advise the factory to commence manufacturing. Gymnasts must know their size. Sizing and fittings can be arranged with Denise Rookwood by appointment. A full set of fit sample sizes are available to try on. Contact Denise at the GQ Office on 3036 5600 or email [email protected]. GK also have special order catalogues which can be forwarded to clubs if requested. 7 2015 Australian Gymnastics Championships V1 - Queensland State Team Newsletter #1 TEAM BUILDING IDEAS WINNING TEAM We don’t just mean medals here!
