Brief History of NIAGA

The Sport of Gymnastics was first established in 1895 with the formation of the Ulster Gymnastics Association (UGA). In 1981 the UGA changed its name to Northern Ireland Amateur Gymnastndics Association (NIAGA). The name was changed again in 2007 to Gymnastics Northern Ireland (GNI) This comprises the counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Londonderry, Tyrone and Fermanagh with a total population of 1.68 million

GNI Strategic Plans 2006-2009

The governing body is currently taking a pro-active approach to modernise effectively and there will be many dynamic changes happening across the organisation over the next couple of years. As a matter of urgency we will be reviewing our structure and implementing efficient governance procedures to ensure that the sport can run effectively throughout the country.

These are exciting times for all to become more pro-active in driving gymnastics forward in Northern Ireland. I therefore urge you to communicate to everybody that we are changing and take advantage of all the opportunities that will be available in the future. Communication and change are seen as key to our future success and we appreciate your feedback as, after all, we are here to assist you in developing your club and gymnastics.

Please find below, a link to our new strategic framework and operational plans which detail where we want the NIAGA to be.

Obviously, in order to achieve our vision we require everybody involved in gymnastics to share it, and co-operate with the governing body in all our objectives. We hope that you share this view and we appreciate your patience and dedication in moving gymnastics forward.
