Your right Oli.
That is why running a big comp is a big deal and I just cant run it anywhere.
Having 10-20 lifters is easy, I'm hoping for over 50 nearing 100 eventually.
Having to run 6-8 flights in a day you need to have LOTS of equipment and space.
The location of the warm up area is very important as far as I'm concerned.
This set up is perfect, it will become the home of ProRaw.
Overseas have major pro comps that are held in the same state and venue year after year, Clash of the Titans, Night of the living Deadlift, Raw Unity etc. It becomes part of the lifting calender.
We have had Australia Day 07,08,09,10 in Frankston, plus Bash at the Beach 1,2 and 3.
Every single state has represented, with Queensland and Canberra having the most interstaters, but I've had WA, SA, Tas, Canberra, NSW, NT and QLD lifters at PTC, many times.
Its not as easy as sticking up a poster in the gym and having 10-20 guys lift
