Gymnastics NSW Awards Night

On February 4th

YMCA Epping, along with YMCA St Ives, Caringbah, Bankstown and Penrith attended the

Gymnastics NSW 2016 awards presentation night. YMCA Epping and three of our gymnasts were nominated in

the following in four categories.

Club Excellence in Inclusion – YMCA Epping

Club Membership – YMCA Epping

MG Junior Athlete of the Year – Ion Best

International Representatives – Christopher Bunton and Nicholas Zrnic

These nominations are a testament to the strength our gymnastics program here at Epping, with Epping

receiving an award in the Club Membership category.

One of the highlights of the evening was a speech delivered by our own Christopher Bunton. Christopher is a

member of our Special Olympics squad and a YMCA gymnastics coach. In July 2016 he and Nicholas Zrnic,

travelled to Italy to represented Australia at the Trisome Games for athletes with Down syndrome. In his

speech Christopher reflected on the joys of coaching and the lives he is impacting. He gave examples of

children’s accomplishments and how that makes working at YMCA a pleasure.

World’s Greatest Shave The Men’s gymnastics squad at YMCA Epping are helping to beat

blood cancer by taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s

Greatest Shave! Please support them by donating at

https://worldsgreatestshave.com/ (click on sponsor button and

search for Epping mens gymnastics squad). Just $52 will help

ensure someone being treated in hospital gets the extra support

they need.

On the 18th

March we will have a sausage sizzle at the centre to

raise more funds for the boys. Come along to help support this

great cause. Stay tuned for the after shot!
