IAWA(UK) British Grip Championships - Saturday February 4th UC Lan Sports Complex, Preston, Lancashire. Promoter - Mark Haydock What a great start to the year for all round weightlifting in IAWA(UK) 18 lifters made it on to the platform and amongst tem were lifters from as far North as Scotland and as far South as Devon and Cornwall, so well done everyone on a great effort. It was also nice to see new lifters on the platform too, very well done to Rebecca Christopher and David Hunter. Andy did a sterling job with the loading all day, and everyone got stuck in to help with the refereeing as well. The lifting was terrific with lots of new records broken and set on the day. When the lifting was finished everyone headed for home to try and beat the snow. We hope everyone arrived home safe and sound. When they got home, Graham Alway proposed to partner Kim Rawlings, and they are now to be wed, so all best wishes to them. Best Open Male Lifter: Mark Haydock - Best Masters Male: Steve Andrews Best Open Female: Rebecca Christopher - Best Female Master: Karen Gardner |
