Hi all, I'll be bouncing and email out to you as well with the same info but here it is.
On November the 8th the BHSA are going to be holding their annual dinner here in Gloucester. You are cordially invited to bring along yourself and friends for a record breaking weights session in the am (probably 10am to 1pm or so) and then we intend making our way to a decent steak house / pub nearby with a rough time scale of about 2pm o/wards.
Now we're looking for input (I know Laine Snook has a lift in mind and I'd like to raise my numbers on the two hand pinch) and so I'll be setting up a poll so we can get your ideas and suggestions for this day in soon. I'll be checking around for a decent place for grub (a real nice one nearby has closed rather annoyingly but there's a great 'all you can eat - set price) Chinese Buffet place near Gloucester Docks which would be cool. Let us know your thoughts and so on.
Following on and with the original idea of roughly 8-9 events per year keep an eye open of the Nick McKinless / Whey Consortium Co Gym annual Power Challenge which Nick is sorting with a rough date of about December 20th. Like last years successful effort it will include an opportunity to set a new PB on the Bench Press, Deadlift, Squat, one overhead movement and one grip lift. No supersuits, bench shirts etc are allowed although belts and wraps are. This is more about you setting new personal records than trophy's and the like. That said Nick may have a surprise or two for us. Like the BHSA effort last year we hit a great pub for an awesome dinner (24 sitting down and having a great time) so that'll be another chance to have a natter and socialize.
So let us know if you're coming (we might need a small deposit for the BHSA dinner) and drop Nick a line if you're up for the 20th.
