My daughter broke her arm at gymnastics last week and will be in the cast for six weeks. She goes to a squad session for 3 hours a week. I had an email from the gym club today saying that I would still have to pay half-fees while she isn't attending her usual classes (£30 per month). I was rather shocked - I had thought that especially as she had broken her arm at the gym club whilst doing gym under their supervision we wouldn't have to pay fees for the 2-3 months she wouldn't be going. As a comparison, she also does a ballet and a modern dance class at a local dance school. Whilst she can mostly continue with the ballet, she won't be doing the modern class for the rest of the term, and we've been credited with the modern dance class fees immediately. Has anyone else had experience of having to pay or not having to pay for activities whilst injured and unable to take part? I'm not out to blame anyone - it was an accident, but I do feel rather fed up with their attitude.
