Anna with her gymnasts after Regionals in 1979
I was fortunate enough to be guided and helped in this country by some people who loved gymnastics as I - if not more, otherwise I don’t think I would have stayed in the sport for such a long time. These people were: Trevor Dowdell, my daughter Silke, the Club Committees, and many other coaches who joined us on the way to develop the Gladstone Club to where it is today (Morwenna Kirwan, Kym and Peter Dowdell, Mr. Guo to name just few!)
