Aspiring Gymsports rounds off 2024

Club founder spokesperson Rae Paterson said the Upper Clutha Lions Club had supported the club by helping to fund the entry fees for members who took part in the New Zealand Gymnastics Championships in Palmerston North.

Lorraine Knowles and Noeline Dickey from the Upper Clutha Lions Club recently met some of the club members who were selected in the Otago team to compete at the national championships, she said. 

“Aspiring Gymsports would like to thank the Lions for supporting the club: Thank you so much from the athletes … and their families.”

Rae said the team at Wānaka Community Workshop made three wheelchair ramps this year to help make the club’s new premises at Paetara Aspiring Central more accessible.

Snowsports athlete Corey Peters, who is a regular visitor to Mini Muscles with his daughter Valentina, thanked the workshop members for their work.

“I'm really thankful for all the work and effort Aspiring Gymsports and the Wānaka Community Workshop have put in to have these access ramps built, allowing me the opportunity to participate in the Mini Muscles programme with my daughter,” he said.

“It's been really amazing to watch and be a part of her development.”
