Fitness Express has continued their partnership, while Popeye’s Restaurant (Guyana) has added some much needed protein to the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) for their senior championships dubbed ‘Judgment Day’ which is set for today at the Saint Stanislaus College Auditorium from 11:00hrs.
Jamie McDonald, Manager/Owner of Fitness Express, located at Sheriff & John Streets, Campbellville handed over a cheque to GAPF Executive Members Gordon Spencer to cement his entity’s continued partnership with the federation.
McDonald said he was satisfied with the continued progress of the sport in Guyana and the dedication and discipline the athletes have been showing over the years which have seen Guyana creating waves at the Caribbean, Regional and International levels.
Spencer offer words of gratitude to McDonald for his continued support which has aided in the federation and the athletes in excelling consistently.
President of the federation Peter Green welcomed Popeye’s on board noting that they have joined with New GPC Inc. and Fitness Express supporting this marquee event which will attract the best athletes today, battling for supremacy.
The GAPF’s, Green, stated he was very pleased that Popeye’s accepted their request to partner with the federation. “We want to welcome you on board with us and to let you know that as a federation we trust that this will be the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership.”
Popeye’s representative Tameshwar Prashad offered brief remarks: “We are very pleased and happy to be onboard for the Senior Nationals since we feel this fast growing and successful sport which has produced two locally grown World Champions amongst others in such a short time shares a similarity as Popeye’s which started over 40 years ago in New Orleans, Louisana, from one small Restaurant and one big idea into a craze that swept the Nation and the World.”
Weigh in time today is 09:30hrs with lifting time set for 11:00hrs.
