Teabagger for hire Member 54, 237 posts | I have been reading some of your complaints about BAWLA membership. The NWPL secretaries job has just been passed on to Bryn Evans and myself. The NW was previously run by Ian Shaw. He took it on because at the time, no-one else was willing to do it, and although he could not dedicate as much time to it as some might, I believe he did a good job under the circumstances. Bryn and I wish to promote the sport. We will be hoping to keep you informed about competitions, as well as arranging fixtures with other sections. We are also hoping to arrange training camps. For the novice lfters this means that we wil be offereing some coaching. For the experienced lifters we have asked Mick Hunnam if he would come over to coach he has agreed. The training camps would be run at one of the current venues such as Rhino's or Catts. You would have to pay for entry into the gym - you cannot expect these people to provide a venue for nothing - but we will be providing our time for free. If this does not seem like a good enough deal let me know what is required. | ||

 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Jim, it's good to see you on the board - thanks for taking the time to register and post the above information. It's nice to know that you are working on organising the competitions. The coaching sounds great and I for one would be more than willing to travel to whatever location for it; it is certainly a good idea for promoting the sport itself as well. It would be great if you could let us know when competitions are on and maybe we can help you out by posting banner ads on the site with the information etc. (ultimately linking to the NW BWLA website perhaps). Best of luck to you and Bryn! | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | That's great news, Jim - and yes, coaching sessions is exactly the sort of thing that'd make joining BAWLA very worth while! Thanks for coming over here to tell us about it. Why not start a log  ? | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | Hey Jim, good to see you here! Aye, sorry about the vent about BWLA membership - need to vent sometimes  Its just that every time comp season nears we new folk seem to be frantically emailing eachother and posting on forums trying to find out whats going on!I think using forums and online ways of promoting is one angle where we can help you guys as well. Another one is pulling new folk into the sport, and the fixture is an example of that. | ||
