The
Manly Warringah Gymnastic Club (MWGC) is a community based, non-profit
sporting organisation. It is run by a Management Committee of parents
and interested parties who offer a broad spectrum of skills and focus
on the benefit of the gymnasts. Any surplus funds are re-invested in
the Club.
Our Committee is motivated by our Mission Statement (Click here to view).
Our venue is in the Centre Industries Complex at Allambie Heights, it is fully
equipped with Olympic standard gymnastic equipment and is set up specifically
for the purposes of our various gymnastic programs. It is one of the best equipped
gymnastic training facilities in the state.
We have served the youth of our community for over 25 years and have many achievements
to our credit a small number of which are listed below:
 |
Many of our Club members achieve 1st, 2nd
or 3rd in State and National
Championships. |
 |
In 2001 the NSW Gymnastic Association awarded our Club
the title of NSW Gymnastic Club of the Year. |
 |
Monique Allen progressed through our Club to the Australian
Institute of Sport in Canberra and became our first Olympian and the first
Australian female gymnast to achieve a Gold Medal in Gymnastics, at the
Commonwealth Games in Auckland. |
 |
A number of our past members have used their extensive
grounding in gymnastics to take them to the top in other sporting endeavours,
April Adams in diving and Rosanna Ditton in the Pole Vault. |
 |
Over the 25 years the Club has played an integral part
in the development of many thousands of the youth of our community. They
have grown in physique, skill and character and have passed through the
Club significantly better equipped to address the many challenges of life
than when they joined us. |
A number of ex Gymnasts have returned to the Club as Coaches and Judges and made
a significant contribution towards the development of their successors.
