Nick, Max and I went to a meeting with the CAPO president and a bunch of others today. They were sorting out CAPO and making sure that powerlifting continues to rise.
At the State Titles last year there were 16 lifters, there will be around 35 - 40 this year. The event is being held at
Glenferrie Oval, “Ferguson Stand”
Street:
34 Linda Cresent
City:
Hawthorn
State:
VIC
The equipment they have is first class, the facilities as good as it gets. This will be a VERY well run event and you will see some tremendous lifters. Some of the weights these guys are lifting are mind blowing, and I'm not simply talking about the equipped section, the raw lifts are top class.
There will be around 15 lifters from PTC I hope. There is talk of quite a few interstaters flying in as well.
I am encouraging anybody that has an interest in lifting to come out and have a look. If anybody is interesting in competing and doesnt know how to go about it, contact me and I'll do anything I can to help.
The CAPO guys are hell bent on making the contest a fun experience for every lifter. There are some very good people behind all this, I was very impressed with the attitude of everyone at the meeting. I for one will do everything I can to promote powerlifting, especially the raw categories.
For new guys on here that want to meet and catch up with other forum members, this is a great oppurtunity.
I will post up more information as I get it.
