Competitions

Little update on what we have coming up over the next little bit.

Summer Sweat Fest, July 24th in Kamloops

This is going to be a fun little event, with individual and team workouts. Just good people and friendly competition. There will be two levels of competition. Scaled and Unscaled, so everyone can have fun you don't need to be a fire breather to play along. There will also be a BBQ going on all day and then everyone can head to On the Rocks Pub after to enjoy a cold one.

Sean and Mira are also looking for people to help judge, if you are thinking about going just to watch then might as well help out.

The cut off for registration is JULY 18TH. So get your stuff in. You can register at

The Ogopogo Olympic Lifting Classic, August 14th in Kelowna.

Now I don't expect everyone to compete at this ...... yet. It's hosted here every year so think about it for next year. If you do want to compete you need to be a member of a BCWA weightlifting club, we are a registered club. Get a sing up sheet from me soon, it's $48 for the year.

There will be a big BBQ after this event as well. Im sure that they need help setting up and tearing down, if you can help let me know and I'll get you in contact with the organizers.

You all better at least come out and watch.
