Gymnasts who have competed with the club for more than two years were eligible for the Reg Hateley award.
Club president Amanda Carracher said the recipients showed dedication and commitment to gymnastics and were good ambassadors for the club.
She said other criteria included: Good gymnastic ability, showing good basic form and consistently putting in effort; positive attitude towards training; good manners, enthusiasm and encouragement towards others; going above and beyond to help out around the club; and competing with good spirit.
Javier Baker and Ella Hallam collected the Gus Fordham Rising Star awards.
Mrs Carracher said the awards were for male and female gymnasts who had attended the club for more than 12 months and who displayed potential and good form; showed enthusiasm and enjoyment; consistently put in effort; listened to instructions; and were well-mannered.
The club also awarded life memberships to Louise Puls and Jenelle Patterson.
Mrs Puls’ involvement in the club stretches back about 12 years.
She has spent most of that time on the club committee, including several years as secretary and more recently, competition secretary.
Mrs Patterson is a long-serving member of the club who has volunteered in a variety of roles including general committee member and assistant coach.
She was recently involved in redesigning the club’s competition uniforms and introducing a range of general uniform pieces.
The club will break for Christmas and training will resume on February 3, 2020.
