The Ahetze-Arbonne Gym Club, a link between two communities

The Arbonne-Ahetze Gym Club's general meeting was held this Friday, July 4. It was an opportunity to take stock of the year and discuss the outlook.

The general meeting of the Arbonne-Ahetze Gym Club was held on Thursday, July 4, in the presence of numerous members as well as Ramuntxo Labat-Aramendy, mayor of Ahetze, and Valentin Tellechea, municipal councilor in charge of associations in Arbonne.

This is an opportunity to take stock of a season marked by steady growth in membership, with 143 members. The club offers a wide range of activities, from gentle gymnastics to yoga, Pilates, cross training, stretching, and strength training.

Financially, the budget remains balanced. Revenue is supported by events enthusiastically hosted by secretary Anne-Marie Leloir, as well as by subsidies provided by the two municipalities and the federation. The estimated cost of volunteering for a year is €19,425, divided between the promotion of the work (€10,800) and the promotion of the premises provided by the town halls (€8,625).

The membership fee will increase next year: 200 euros, with unchanged terms and conditions. "If we have more members, we'll be more comfortable," explains treasurer Dominique Bouillon.

Finally, Vice President Maïté Luberriaga presented two medals to members who have been loyal for over 30 years. "This reflects the friendly spirit that drives our club," concluded Véronique Verley, Assistant Secretary.
