breaking news

We have been awarded the British Bench Press next year to take place in Colchester.

The date should be around about the 30th January 2010.

My main priorities are to use a large venue, around 500 to 750 seats, provide facilities to match the status of the event and to create enough publicity to fill the venue with competitors and spectators.

Needless to say it will be streamed live on the internet, but if you can make it to see it live, I assure you it will be well worth the trip.

More details to follow.

Great news the British bench is always a popular event,I can't help thinking a 700 capacity venue will feel rather empty even with a good turnout?

The British Bench allows the use of equipmentWink ! The Unequipped Bench(probably in May) doesn't.

I think it would be a miracle if a quarter of that number turned up in reality.
