Ken McKenzie Award for Services to Sport:

Jodie McGinnity – Jodie holds a number of roles within the sport of gymnastics, including her roles as the administration manager and senior coach at the Tamworth Gymnastic Club Incorporated; Judging Co-ordinator for Gymnastics NSW, and member of the Sport Management Committee for Women in NSW.

In 2021, Jodie represented Gymnastic NSW as a coach and judge at the Australian National Championships on the Gold Coast. Jodie currently mentors a number of judges and is a judging course presenter for Gymnastics NSW, holding many judging courses all over the state.

Possibly Jodie’s greatest achievement has been made locally with the creation of the annual Country Capital Cup Competition held at the Tamworth Regional Entertainment Conference Centre (TRECC) each June. This competition started with just 200 competitors and she has overseen and driven the growth of the event to over 1,000 competitors and some 2,000 to 3,000 spectators from NSW in 2021.

Josie Douglas and Annalise Tighe were also nominated in the Senior and Junior Sports Star Categories, capping a strong year where both gymnasts were selecte to represent NSW at the Australian Gymnastics Championships on the Gold Coast in May.
