THE WOOLFORD Avenue-based National Resource Centre is the venue chosen by the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPLF) to host its upcoming Annual General Meeting on Sunday, April 19 from 11:00hrs.According to the body, annual reports for the year 2014, along with the election of new office-bearers for 2015, will be the main features of the agenda.

Meanwhile, local competitions continue with the holding of the inaugural invitational three-lift equipped Clash of Champions tournament on May 1, featuring the current top-three ranked lifters in each weight class for both Male and Female in the Open Category.
There will also be a fourth lifter in reserve who will also be vying to make the qualifying marks for selection to the Pan American, as well as the South American Championships in Brazil in September.
The GAPLF further announced, “There will also be incentives for setting national records in those age categories listed apart from the Open. Current local and international records are being updated and will be made available at the AGM. Entry to this tournament is by invitation only.”
The lifters, listed in order of highest totals officially achieved to date, along with the best recorded fourth-place lifters in reserve, are therefore requested to confirm participation by the date or at the AGM in order for a smooth registration and completion of the championships.
“Failure to confirm participation will see wildcards being drawn at the AGM to replace any of the top-ranked lifters. Attractive prizes (including monetary stipends) await the victorious lifters,” the GAPLF said.
