We are excited to introduce the newly formed Events Review Advisory Groupâa passionate and diverse team who will help shape the future of gymnastics events in Aotearoa.
We received an overwhelming number of strong applications and would like to sincerely thank everyone who expressed interest. The response highlights the deep knowledge, care, and commitment across our gymnastics community.
