Not-For-Profit
Bundoora Calisthenics Club is a not-for-profit club that strives to keep its member fees as low as possible. In order to keep functioning as a club, we need to fundraise throughout the year. Holding fundraising events and drives allows us to provide our members with some incredible opportunities, including hosting a spectacular annual gala.
Bundoora Calisthenic Club is also a registered activity provider with the Get Active Kids voucher program, providing eligible members with quarterly vouchers towards fees.
To discuss fundraising opportunities, please reach out to our fundraising coordinator on fundraisingbundoora@gmail.com.
Sponsors
Northern District Calisthenic Competition - MARGARET SPRAGUE SUB JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP
The Northern District Calisthenic Competition generously supports our club each year through a special scholarship. This award is presented to one of our very lucky Sub Junior performers in honour of one of our founding members, the remarkable Margaret Sprague.
Calisthenics is truly in Marg’s blood. She has devoted an extraordinary portion of her life to this sport and our community. Margaret joined the club in 1968 as a founding member after previously performing with the Minerva Calisthenics College.
Marg is a proud life member of our club and continues to play a vital role in the wider calisthenics’ community. Marg also helps run the Northern District competitions alongside her daughter Vanessa and daughter-in-law Toni.
Marg's dedication was further recognised when she received life membership to Calisthenics Victoria, where she served as a long-standing board member.
Throughout her time at Bundoora, Marg has worn many hats—coach, mum, secretary—and she now shines as our talented costume coordinator. But above all, her greatest joy comes from watching and supporting her granddaughters Jessica, Annie, Amy, Makenzie, and Layla, all of whom have been or are still proud members of our club.
This scholarship is awarded to a Sub Junior member who embodies the values Marg holds dear: commitment to learning and improving their calisthenic skills, respect for others, strong team spirit, and the qualities of an all-round calisthenic girl.

Club Girl Awards
Junior Club Girl Award
Our Junior Club Girl Award is in honour of Maree Eddings, life member, participant and coach who worked with the clubs younger sections for over 30 years. Maree instilled strong core development foundations and skill sets to many young girls over the years, which has helped them develop into confident young women in and outside of the sport.
Senior Club Girl Award
Our Senior Club Girl Award is in honour of Vanessa Patterson, life member, participant, principal coach and dedicated committee member for over 40 years with Bundoora Calisthenic Club. Through her guidance, mentorship, passion and love for our sport, Vanessa has been an important club contributor across all sections with great success within our Intermediate and Senior sections growth and evolution over the years.
Both these awards are in honour of these two very special people.
