Gymnastics Club
There has been a tradition of gymnastics in the Manchester Area for many years, initially centred on the University and Didsbury College. With the boom in gymnastics in the early 70’s came the necessity to create a club for gymnastics within the city. This was achieved with the aid given by the Education Department & Community Education.
The Club was inaugurated in 1973 with the object to encourage and promote competitive Gymnastics.
During the last 30 years the club can boast many individual and team North West of England Champions.
For the past 30 years members of the coaching staff have held positions on the North West Technical Committees. These positions have included Vice President, Regional Coach, Competition Secretary and Judging Convenor.
