Linda McNally’s Wedding
Linda McNally, ISGA General Secretary, tied the knot with Head Gymnastics Coach at St Faith’s School, Tim North, on Saturday 1st April 2017 in the beautiful chapel of The Leys School, with the reception at St Faith’s School, Cambridge. The sun shone and Linda looked radiant, attended by her lovely bridesmaids. The wedding was a wonderful and joyous occasion with everyone taking part wholeheartedly, turning it into a weekend of celebrations as guests arrived from countries far and wide to see Linda and Tim married. Coaches and officials from ISGA had presented them with a wedding cheque at the 5 Piece Championships in March.
Mags Waters, the Assistant Head at Lady Eleanor Holles School, Hampton, London, Linda’s Bedford PE College friend and a guest at the April wedding with her fiancé, Steve, also got married for the first time later in the summer. As a coach, Mags’s gymnastics teams were very successful for a number of years. She also hosted the GISGA 5 Piece Championships in March 2007 at LEH.
