Unveiling plans of a grand nature was Managing Director of Flex Night Incorporated, Donald Sinclair at the Herdmanston Lodge, Peter Rose and Lamaha streets, Georgetown. Present were many of the entity’s sponsors, Prison Service authorities, executives of the Guyana Amateur Body Building and Fitness Federation and prospective Flex Night contestants among others.
The best local athletes will flex muscles against competition from Suriname, which is in the process of launching Flex Night in that country, Barbados, Brazil and Aruba according to Sinclair.
Two locally based Brazilian females are already in training and will be joined by another from the northeastern state of Amapa. Sinclair informed that the contingents from Aruba and Barbados would be announced shortly.
On the night of Sunday December 7, at what is anticipated to be a packed Cultural Centre arena the male athletes will compete in male bodybuilding and men’s physique, while the ladies will be displaying their toned, shapely bodies in the Miss Flex Night Bikini and Ms. Flex Night Best Legs contests.
For the first time on the Guyana bodybuilding stage representatives from the Guyana Prison service will be in contention. Sinclair noted that this development is a part of the fruits of the ongoing relationship between Flex Night Incorporated and the Guyana Prison Service.
Under this initiative, a gym has been established in the Camp Street Prison with support from the Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society. Bodybuilding will form part of the activities for Prison Week 2014.
Flex Night Inc. in an effort to ensure that the public is kept abreast with plans will be featuring profiles of the athletes leading up to competition night. A number of promotions with the various sponsors would also be done along with community outreach programmes.
