Novices & Junior C’ships to set tone; AGM fixed for Feb. 10

Following a gratifying 2012, the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) is aiming to better last year in ever regard.
The GAPF under Peter Green who has been at the helm since 2008 has made significant strides in making the sport more popular and at the same time its athletes have taken on all and sundry successfully, the world over.
And it is with these achievements in mind and a undying hunger for even more success that the local governing body will muscle off their 2013 season, competition wise, on March 10 in the Ancient County of Berbice.
The Berbice competition will be divided into two segments, Novices and the National Junior Championships.
According to Green, the Novices segment is for first time lifters who will be allowed to compete equipped or unequipped in the Juniors and Open categories for male and female athletes.
Commenting on the National Junior Championships, Green noted that it is open to Lifters who would have competed at both the Novice and Intermediate levels. They would be allowed to compete equipped with both male and female athletes eligible.
Meanwhile, March 10 will see the GAPF adopting a multi faceted approach in that athletes who have not been able to compete at the 2012 seniors due to injury can appear in Berbice as Guest Lifters.
Competing in Berbice will afford the athletes the opportunity of qualifying for the Preliminary Nomination list for participation to the Caribbean, North American and Pan American Championships scheduled to be held simultaneously from July 1 – 7, 2013 in Orlando Florida, USA. This preliminary list is due to be submitted on May 1st.
All clubs and individual lifters participating are reminded that they must register with the Organizing Secretary, Mr. Denroy Livan who can be reached on tel. # 226 1553 (between 08:00 – 16:00hrs) for data processing and other details.
Annual General Meeting
The GAPF’s Annual General Meeting is set for Sunday February 10 at the Tropical View Hotel, Campbell Avenue, Campbelville commencing at 11:00hrs.
Minutes, President, Secretary and Treasurer’s reports, Introduction of Proposals for the upgrading of the Current Constitution and Elections will form the agenda.
Nominations for positions of Officials from registered Clubs and members are open. These Nominations should be registered with the General Secretary Ms. Dawn Barker who can be reached on Tel. # 642 8322.
