Onslow Gymnastics is on the move and so is Alastair ( to the tune of 115km in 27 hours!!)

Wellington

Onslow Gymnastics is a not-for-profit organisation (affiliated to Gymnastics New Zealand) run by a voluntary committee of parents since the early 1970's. Unfortunately, after nearly 50 years of operating out of Onslow College in Johnsonville, there is no longer available time/space for the club, so the search is on for a new venue.

To help fund this move, Alastair (the father of one of our gymnasts) is going for a little walk on the 24th of April. He will be visiting all the Gymnastics clubs in the greater Wellington region (sorry Levin, you were just too far away), in the hopes of raising money to cover some of those relocation costs.

1 Man, 7 Gyms, 115 Kms, 27 Hours and a lot of swear words.

Should you wish to support this madness and help out our girls, any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

Alastair Hogg's involvement (page creator)

Alastair's daughter has been a member of the club for 4 years and his wife has been on the comittee for most of that time.

Use of funds

All money raised will be used to fund the relocation & storage of gym equipment, and the installation of floor anchors at the new venue.

Task Completed / Goal Achieved 28 April 2021

Hi Guys,

For those that haven’t heard, I completed the fundraising walk over ANZAC weekend.

Due to a few miscalculations, “7 gyms, 115km & 27 hours” turned into “7 gyms, 123km and 29 hours” - but who’s counting..

I just wanted to thank you again for all the support. I can’t believe we raised almost $7,000 - it almost makes all the blisters and cramps worth it 😂

I’ve attached a photo that I think best sums up how I felt after finishing on Sunday morning..

Thanks again
