We are very excited to be able to finally get back into our gym. Thank you to you all for your patience during this time. We are very grateful for your kindness and support as we worked to get the venue back open, and we can’t wait to see you all next week.
We would like to acknowledge and say a massive thank you to all the volunteers who came in to help; parents, Harbour sport staff, the volunteer army, NHG staff. We are extremely grateful to you all.

NHG members and parents,
Great news! We have been informed today by the stadium operator that EFS Stadium has had its yellow sticker downgraded to a white sticker.
This means that the gym facility is now accessible to NHG staff.
While I know you will all be keen and excited at the prospect of reentry, this cannot happen immediately. With access to the site only just now available to NHG, as an organisation we are now looking to conduct our gym surface clean, equipment inventory assessment, temporary safety fence/barrier erection for the empty foam pit, and finally the set-up with the undamaged equipment. This hopefully should not take longer than a week, particularly with the application of many keen and motivated staff and volunteers.
I will keep you abreast of progress and the timeline.
We may need to ask parents to volunteer some time to help move equipment or cleaning, and will be in touch next week if we need volunteer help. Your assistance has been very much appreciated.
Thank you all for your patience and support while we get our gym up and running again.
