I became a director of the club a couple of years ago and it has been a pleasure to see some of the achievements our club has celebrated. I find it incredibly inspiring to see the discipline these young gymnasts show in their training and performance every day and as a director of MGCE, I am very proud of each and every one of them.
​
The most important part for me is the sense of teamwork and family - from the gymnasts themselves, from the coaches and helpers, from the admin staff and board; and just as importantly, from the parents. Like all not for profit organisations, we rely heavily on our parent volunteers to keep the club running and I would encourage anyone who can help in any small way, to please do so.

I think I am one of the newest directors of the club and since starting it has been great to be part of such a vibrant club. Don't get me wrong, I am no gymnast, and I am not a gymnastics coach, but I have coached at a high level in other sports and I have worked in the sport and exercise industry since leaving school.
​
Whilst I am a director, I will be working hard alongside my fellow directors, club coaches and other staff to help make Manx Gym a truly inclusive, supportive and exciting community to be a part of. If you see me about the club please say hello and I will only be to happy to chat.

I first became involved in the club as a parent. My daughter was a gymnast at the club for many years and it was great to see the enjoyment she had being part of such a wonderful club and taking part in the sport that she loved. I became a director of the club when a need for some financial help was highlighted, and as my background revolves around finance, I thought that this was my chance to give a little bit back to a club that had provided so much enjoyment for my daughter.
​
My gymnastics knowledge is very small, however I do have experience in finance, and that is where the majority of work for the club will be done.
