 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Got to give the guy a chance for sure. He's got some big boots to fill there in everyway so hopefully he'll do good. Are any of the old school left there or have they had a complete change over of staff? | ||

Yeah all the old crowd are still there, when Giles left it was just a few of the young lifters who he directly coached who left with him. Pat Atteridge and all the other masters lifters can still be found training there. (Y) | ||
