– muscles off with fund-raising bachelor auction & BBQ on March 30
The recently elected Executive of the Guyana Amateur Body Building & Fitness Federation (GABBFF) has outlined a hectic programme of activities for this year commencing with a fund raising bachelors auction and bar-b-que on March 30 at the Poolside of Olympic House, High Street.
President, Keavon Bess, who was re-elected for a second term on February 3 at Olympic House said that his federation will be working with all stakeholders to ensure that the sport continues its upward climb.
It was disclosed that the federation will be introducing some new initiatives to the bodybuilding scene in Guyana one of which will be a schools boy’s competition possibly in May but discussions are still ongoing in this regard.
The Novice (Mr. & Miss Physique) show which attracted record numbers last year at a sold out Theatre Guild, will take place in April this year but this time, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, the venue where the Senior competition was held last year.
Barbadian Steven Bells will be the guest poser and he will be accompanied by his personal trainer. Apart from a vigorous sponsorship campaign, the federation will also be visiting gyms around Guyana to interface with members and to share the vision of the body with them. Seniors will be held in July at a venue and date to be decided.
The federation will also be working towards sending a team to the CAC championships in September as well as the annual Darcey Beckles show in Barbados set for October.
Meanwhile, the other members of the GABBFF Executive are, Hugh Ross (Vice President), Melissa Sookram (Treasurer), Kalvin Homer (Assistant Secretary/Treasurer), Videsh Sookram (Organising Secretary).
The six Committee Members are Compton Bobb, Kirk Jardine, Larry DaCosta, Franklyn Brisport-Luke, Azam Bacchus and Melroy Grant.
