Jack
Bombay Lions have approved a Youth Development Fund Grant of $500,00 to Jack to help get him to the International Artistic Gymnastics Competition, Texas, USA. in December this year.

We were all impressed by his original grant application, his interview review and consistent high level of success in his chosen demanding sport. (Peter Abbott)

Hopefully we can find some way to recognise and acknowledge Jack’s national standing in NZ Gymnastic competition, and particularly his selection/invitation to represent NZ at international level in Texas, later this year.
 
Thanks Fastrac Engineering for sponsoring a robot.
