CAPO Newsletter - December 2001

Due to the fact that we haven't had a newsletter since December 2000, I thought it was about time to update everyone on some of the things that have recently happened.

This newsletter will include the following topics:

As, and when, I receive information I shall send it out in a format similar to this. If you have anything you wish to submit, please forward it to me.

Coral Quinell competed in the WPC World Championships in Cape Town in early November, and won the Womens Masters, 56kg class, with a total of 340kg. Congratulations Coral ... again!!

Sharon Waters has returned from her recent competition at the World's Strongest Woman held in South Africa. Although not bringing home a medal, Sharon says that the experience that she has gained is worth it's weight in gold.

Warren Rozen and Adrian Zalcman are competing in the World Cup in Germany this week. We wish them all the best, and look forward to hearing the results on their return to Australia.

Clarification has been sought from the WPC at the recent Annual General Meeting held in Cape Town regarding the design of the benchtops using velcro to "hold them together. The benchtops do not need to have the open edges joining at the back of the lifter, ie they can be open, however they must be held together using velcro straps. Obviously all other WPC rules will apply, as per the latest Rule Book.

To ensure  information is communicated to all members, effective immediately,  ALL correspondence needs to be channeled through either the President or National Secretary. At the WPC AGM, it was noted that under no circumstances will any individual queries sent to the WPC President be answered individually, ie all communication must go through either the President or the National Secretary. Your assistance in this matter is appreciated.

There will be a new issue of the WPC Rule Book expected early next year. Once copies have been sourced, their availability and price will be advised, and copies can be purchased.

The 2003 WPC World Championships will be held in Helsinki, Finland. As soon as confirmed information on venue and dates is available, it will be published. Please contact Andrea Sterns if you have any enquiries regarding this event.

Mark it in your diaries .... 2004 WPC World Championships will be held in Darwin, NT. Stay tuned for information as it becomes available ... and keep training hard!!
