The Healthequip 1996 Queensland 1000

By Ian Moir

What a day! What a spectacle! What a finish! What am I raving about? Only the most exciting weightlifting competition of 1996 (with the possible exception of the Olympic Games).

If you didn’t make it to the Alexandra Hills Hotel for the inaugural Healthequip Queensland 1000, you missed an afternoon of pure entertainment. Nine competitors made it to the final on December 21st, all with their eyes on the first prize of $1000 cash and all with an equal chance of winning.

From the moment Mike Keelan and I settled in at the central commentary position, the Moreton Room began buzzing with excitement as each lifter alighted the platform and gave everything they had in an effort to swing the odds in their favour.

At the end of the snatch section, Alex Goodyear had set a new personal best with 105kg, Angela Bentley, Amanda Phillips and Leo Isaac had achieved equal PB’s, all competitors had kissed goodbye any chance of racking up bonus points for six out of six and the competition was still wide open. There was only one certainty at this stage and that was that it was going to take a mighty effort just to get into the minor placings.

Once the clean & jerk got under way and lifters began achieving totals, the front-runners became more apparent. Melissa Bethune channelled every ounce of her determination into a new PB and state junior record clean & jerk of 80kg. But it was Alex Goodyear who stamped himself as the one to beat when he lifted another personal best in the clean & jerk which earned him maximum bonus points for snatch, clean & jerk and total.

In the closing stages Craig Wegert was in the driving seat. All other competitors had finished before Craig made his first attempt and he new exactly what he had to do. This situation was not as comfortable as it sounds though, because what Craig actually had to do to win was clean & jerk a new personal best of 182.5kg! Craig played it cool and secured second place with his second attempt at 177.5kg then called for 180kg. With nothing to lose (and some extra recovery time to gain) Craig requested that the bar be loaded to 182.5kg. For the first time in Queensland weightlifting history one lift was worth $1000. Sadly for Craig it was not to be and Alex “The Quiet Achiever” Goodyear received the big money as well as the accolades which he so richly deserved for his outstanding performance.

But wait, there was more!

Debra Keelan and Amanda Phillips had tied for third place and under the rules of the competition, had to engage in a sudden death lift-off to decide the final placings.

Both lifters chose to do battle in the clean & jerk. Bars were loaded to 80% of each lifter’s personal best and they began going lift for lift for three quick attempts. Considering that they had just finished competing in a gruelling competition, Debbie and Amanda both passed this first test with flying colours. From then on the weight of each successive attempt was increased by 5% of PB. Once again the crowd witnessed an impressive display of courage and determination as lift after lift was successfully completed up to the point where both athletes were called upon to attempt 100%. Debbie went first and for the second time in less than an hour clean & jerked 100kg. Amanda then had to succeed with 90kg to remain in contention - a weight which she had attempted and failed earlier in the day.

The Healthequip 1996 Queensland 1000 drew to a close as 90kg proved too much for Amanda Phillips and all placings were decided without a shadow of a doubt.

What a day! What a spectacle! What a Finish!

Queensland Weightlifting Annual Awards

The Alexandra Hills Hotel, still humming from the excitement of the day’s inaugural Queensland 1000 final, kept it’s doors and bars open for the dedicated few who had gathered to pay tribute to Queensland Weightlifting Association’s star athletes, movers and shakers.

The auspicious occasion was the 1996 Queensland Weightlifting Association Annual Awards , a night designed to recognise the magnificent efforts, dedication, hours of energy and commitment of our lifters and volunteers - the life blood of the QWA.

The first members of the QWA to receive the praise and public recognition, and rightfully so, were the men and women who expressed their athletic prowess on the platform - the lifters. Every lifter nominated in each category was judged on the basis of their ability to demonstrate solid and improved performances on the state, national and international platforms and their dedication to the development of Queensland weightlifting.

The first of the nights trophies, Best Senior Female Lifter, was awarded to Debbie Keelan (Cougars), Oceania, Australian and State Champion. Debbie also rewrote the state record books in the 83+Kg class and became the first female in Queensland to Clean & Jerk the magic 100kg. Debbie also was an active administrator, referee, coach, fund raiser and support agent for up and coming lifters.

Craig Wegert (Cougars) proudly accepted the Best Senior Male Lifter Cup as a result of his massive 35 Kg improvement, his Moomba International silver medal, a tremendous win in his first overseas Australian Representation in New Zealand and his ability to break state record after state record. Craig also led by example, demonstrating to other lifters that sacrifice, dedication and hard yakka certainly pay dividends to those brave enough to give it a real go. Craig was also a regular referee at competitions and could always be seen giving a helping hand before and after competitions.

Anthony Martin (Nudgee) deservedly gained the title of top Junior Male Lifter. During 1996 the “Big Fella” gained Australian representation in Europe and Melbourne. Throughout the year Anthony set numerous state , National, commonwealth and Oceania records impressing the weightlifting community with his prowess and fantastic potential.

Best Junior Female Lifter went to Saree Williams (Cougars). Saree improved significantly in the two classical disciplines which earned her a State title, runner-up at the nationals, state, national and Oceania records and a berth in the Australian Women’s Junior team. Saree also performed a variety of other duties for the QWA including refereeing, setting up and dismantling at comps, promoting weightlifting at public displays and holding a QWA Management Committee position.

David Nillson (Nudgee) , yet another Aussie rep, state and national record holder, Australian and Queensland Champion, shone through in the Best Male Under 17 category. David’s performances during 1996 were consistent and steady and he frequently offered a helping hand at competitions.

1996 was a great year for Amanda Phillips (Cougars) who became Queensland’s most prolific record breaker and multiple national champion. Amanda also realised a personal ambition to represent Australia and in so doing took out 1st place in the Junior international. Awarded Best Under 17 Female.

Derek Croft (Townsville) was delighted to receive the Best Masters Lifter trophy. Derek’s effort and attention to technique paid off with improved platform performances . Derek also put in a mighty effort to assist with the running of the National Weightlifting Championships which took place in Brisbane.

The final lifting award went to the Rookie of the Year, who in the opinion of the selections committee demonstrated the most impressive improvement in performance, commitment to training , good technique and team spirit. Darren Lythall (Cougars) took out the award.

The remaining awards went to the people who assist all lifters in some shape or form, the competition organisers, referees, coaches, club committee members and administrators to name but a few - the unsung heroes of weightlifting.

The Volunteer of the Year award went to an individual who has worked diligently behind the scenes in an effort to improve the `system’ - Miles Wydall. Miles introduced some trail blazing initiatives such as the QWA Web-Site which is now a potential money earner. Miles work has firmly put the QWA on the world weightlifting map and this was done in between his coaching sessions down at the Cougars club.

Services to Special Groups was taken out by Barry Harden (Nambour) as a result of his contributions to the development of Masters throughout 1996. Barry’s commitment to the task resulted in regular mail outs to masters, increased networking within this group, and plans made for a new handicap competition calendar for Masters to look forward to in 1997.

Michael Keelan who was responsible for the coaching and development of a group of national medalists and Australian representatives as well as assisting in coach education was awarded Best Club Coach for the second time in four years.

Best Novice Coach hailed from the country in the form of Jason Hassard of Goomeri. Jason took out this award which is reserved for new coaches in their first two years of coaching. Jason steered the Goomeri club through 1996 developing a promising group of male and female lifters who competed in fine style on a number of competition platforms at a variety of locations around Queensland.

The QWA Official/Office Bearer of the Year went to a person whose actions made a significant

contribution to the advancement of weightlifting in Queensland - Beth Isaac. Beth had a very busy 1996 spending a large amount of time assisting the QWA by performing a myriad of duties ranging form courier (delivering National Championship posters to Brisbane gyms), general office assistant, to taking on the role of the QWA “Super Seller” raising much needed funds for other QWA members.

Beth also played a major role in the running of the Telstra Nationals, organising and taking part in promotions, refereeing at competitions and taking on secretarial duties with the Cougars - a busy lady and a well deserved winner of the award.

Special Merit Awards were introduced: Bob Kennedy was recognised for organising and running the Best competition of 1996, the Queensland Schools Weightlifting Competition held in Rockhampton in June; and Peter Thomsen was recognised for his coaching of National and International representative Weightlifters.

Cougars took out the Best Club Award - In 1996 the club organised working bees to improve the QWA facility at Chandler, introduced a Scholarship Program, developed and implemented a marketing plan , established an identity through promotion which included displays, sign on days and club t-shirts. The club members also made a magnificent contribution in assisting the QWA in running the Telstra Nationals and it’s lifters put in some mighty performances in state , national and international competitions.

The QWA Achiever of the Year - the QWA’s most prestigious award went to a most worthy recipient, QWA President, Greg Hobl . Greg’s achievements, as a lifter, a coach, administrator and referee speak volumes. Greg is a man of action, a leader who has the ability to rally up the troops and get things done. Greg has and always will be a dedicated role model who believes that actions are greater than words.

A characteristic of any successful organisation is that it is made of people who know what they want to achieve and how to go about achieving their targets. The QWA will continue to recognise and praise the efforts of all it’s members and in particular those members who strive to excel in what they do for the benefits of others.

Changes in the Office

By Ian Moir

Well, by now everyone will have heard about Leo’s move from the QWA office to South Bank TAFE College. Why anyone would want to leave the luxurious surroundings of the QWA office - that small box in the corner of the gym at Chandler with three hot water systems in back to provide warmth in winter and wire mesh ceiling (complete with cob webs) that allows the occasional summer breeze to flow through - for some plush, airconditioned office with a view, I can’t imagine.

Seriously though, the legacy of Leo’s three years of outstanding service as State Administrator is a system of good management, accountability and entrepreneurship (is that a real word?) that will serve the QWA well for many years to come.

I’m sure that I speak for all who worked alongside Leo, either in the office or on the management committee, coaching committee, national championships organising committee, officiating committee etc. etc. when I say thank you, Leo for the endless hours of selfless service you have rendered to the QWA and please don’t devote as much time and energy to your new job, or there won’t be any left for weightlifting.

Life goes on in the QWA office with three of us now at your beck and call. The management committee have bestowed upon me the impressive title of Executive Director and I am beginning to answer to the name Mister Ed. Still, it could be worse, they could be calling me Francis the Talking Mule. Debra Keelan is our Development Officer overseeing Equity and Participation programs and Sean Cassidy has joined the “Gang of Three” in the position of School Development Officer.

Debra, Sean and I are available to discuss any aspect of the QWA’s operations and programs with you, the members. So please don’t hesitate to call us for information, assistance or just to keep in touch. I’m sure you know the number already but here it is again anyway: (07) 3823 1377.

Working for the future of Weightlifting

by Leo Isaac

Sport can be many different things to many people. For some it is a way of keeping fit while for others it is a weekly fix of adrenaline. Sport is also about meeting people, learning new skills, overcoming challenges, travel, a chance to break the monotony of working life and the list goes on and on. As a person who has been deeply involved in the sport of Weightlifting for 23 years, as an athlete, coach, coach educator and administrator, in the United Kingdom and Australia, my experiences are close to being religious. It has been, and still is, a wonderful journey of DISCOVERY and LEARNING.

When I left school aged 16 and went to technical college for two years my vision was that by my present age, 42, I would be a fully qualified accountant with a well paid position, a house paid off and a car and boat on the driveway. At 16, I showed some abilities with school work and with some sports such as athletics and tennis but, even though I wanted to go to the Olympics, in all my dreams I could never have imagined what would happen next.

In my final year as a business studies student at technical school, armed with only a book on “modern weight-training” as my guide, I began training with weights to improve my abilities in sprinting and jumping and continued on a once per week basis. At the tennis club one evening I mentioned to a friend that I was training with weights and not long after we started training together in his garage with some weights he had been given. We learned split snatch and split cleans from my outdated book and we would all now laugh at the amazingly useless “stick figure” illustrations which were used to describe the complex technique of Weightlifting. But if there was one useful part of the book, it was the appendix of Weightlifting clubs in the United Kingdom (UK).

I contacted the nearest club, some 30km away in the city of Bristol. The club coach, thinking that I was too far away, suggested I form a Weightlifting club in my home town of Cheddar. But the club coach, Den Welch, did suggest that I watch the next Weightlifting competition which was the South West Counties Weightlifting Championships. My garage training partner and I travelled to watch the competition and from that moment on, I never looked back. This was the sport for me.

And so began a journey which has taken me to Spain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Yugoslavia, Australia, New Zealand and Tonga - so far. But Weightlifting has meant a great deal more to me than a passport for travel. At 42, I do not have a house paid off and there is no boat on the driveway. Instead there is a memory, one that I can hardly believe myself, that in September 1982, I lifted the heaviest weight in my life, a clean & jerk of 180.5Kg. This, and other similar experiences, have had a profound effect on the person that is me. It is a little too deep to go into here, but suffice to say that these experiences are my motivation for continuing to devote time and energy to the sport long after the heady days of being a globe-trotting athlete have finished.

After 23 years in the sport of Weightlifting, I have seen it from all sides. Here in Australia I have worked in a professional capacity for the state associations of three states (NSW, Tasmania and Queensland). I have also worked for the Australian Weightlifting Association. In all these positions, there has been one task that has been required of me - to build participation. In my early days as a worker for Weightlifting in Sydney my approach was to coach, and coach, and coach! At one time in 1985 I was coaching at St.George, Belmore, Bankstown, Parramatta and Blacktown and it was usual to travel 100km per day and be involved with 50 lifters. Competitions were a nightmare. I would spin on a sixpence to coach a dozen lifters at any one time. However, those clubs have gone now. The bars are probably getting rusty in a store room.

In later positions in Weightlifting, my approach to building participation shifted to finding, educating and mentoring other persons to assume a coaching role (and also refereeing and administration). I believe this a more successful approach for two reasons. Firstly, leading others into coaching has enabled me to share the load and secondly, and more importantly, this approach has enabled the sport to continue when I have moved on. More recently my attention has once again turned to developing resources for coaches because as we all know there are extremely few texts or videos on the sport of Weightlifting.

Within the ranks of the QWA, and for that matter any other state Weightlifting association in Australia, are a number of people we can readily identify as people who put enormous time and energy into our sport in the hope that it will grow and flourish. And yet despite all our cumulative energies, our sport, challenged by the myriad of other sports and leisure activities, hangs precipitously on the edge of oblivion. This causes me to think, again and again, on what is missing from the equation. What are we NOT doing that we could be doing? It is my assessment of the situation that the missing ingredient is TRAINING but not of the physical sort.

Throughout my time in Weightlifting I have constantly sought the skills, experiences and qualifications that I presumed I needed to take the next step. It did not take me long to move from Cheddar to Bristol so that I could be involved in training with the very best. I left accountancy and took myself to Loughborough University to avail myself of training in sports science and recreation management. At the same time, while in the midst of my globe-trotting, I underwent my initial training in coaching in two ways. Firstly, I enrolled in to the formal coaching courses run by the British Amateur Weightlifting Association (BAWLA) and secondly, John Lear, the national coach of the UK, always took every opportunity to give members of national squad, while on training camps, lectures in technique, competition preparation, psychology, nutrition, etc.

In my time as State Administrator for the QWA, it was my daily struggle to divide my time between keeping the QWA financially afloat, event organisation, personnel training, promotion, coaching, communication, regional development, team selection and travel arrangements, reporting to the government and recruitment. Though the job was demanding it was also satisfying. There are a number of reasons why I would recommend others to follow into this profession. During my time as State Administrator, I enjoyed very much working with people who think as I do about the benefits of Weightlifting. The QWA is a very friendly place as we are all united by a common purpose. An despite the long hours I often worked, I enjoyed the sense of freedom of being able to leave my office and jump into my car to travel for several days to North Queensland for a coaching course, or interstate for a championship, or simply to go across town to a school to talk to students about Weightlifting. I also thoroughly enjoy seeing those whom I have helped gain pleasure from their performance on the platform or their involvement in an official capacity. Working in sport is a pleasurable and satisfying occupation.

However I would offer a warning to one and all. For the health and longevity of the sport we must all be engaged in TRAINING, whether this means we teach others or others teach us. Opportunities for training are being regularly lost. Here are some examples:

· QWA Management Committee meetings which on average last for 4 hours could be 1 hour in which only the most important committee matters are discussed and three hours of training.

· Of all the physical training sessions in the year that our athletes engage, I am sure that 2 or 3 could be devoted to the acquisition of knowledge about coaching, refereeing and administration of our sport.

· The annual awards evening of the QWA has room for a 30 minutes training video on some aspect of being involved in our sport.

· Sections of the QWA Coaching Education program of Level 1 and 2 courses should be delivered by distance education so that a much wider audience can be reached. This could be the whole course if video packages are developed.

· Similarly the QWA Referee Education program could be delivered through distance education packages using video.

· All QWA athletes on all squads should receive training about all aspects of running the sport as a condition of being included in a squad and receiving funding.

· There should be a Coaching Journal of the QWA, a two-sided document which all QWA registered coaches receive on a monthly basis.

· QWA teams travelling interstate should, at the end of each day’s competition, receive 30 - 60 mins training in some aspect of the sport. It is not often that all of the QWA’s best athletes gather in one location.

· There should be study courses, distance education packages or lectures, designed specifically for parents so that they can function as - fund-raisers, assistant coaches, club administrators, referees, announcers, etc.

Perhaps you can think of more.

Lastly, I must say that if you are looking for a reason why the above have not come about and feel a want to blame the professional administrators, I believe it is very largely because YOU expect your sports administrators to do OTHER things. If you rely on sports administrators to do the coaching, the refereeing, the competition organisation, keeping records and rankings, write up minutes of meetings, carry out talent identification, write media releases, carry out promotional activities in the market place, order your clothing, clean the gym, find sponsors, etc., then of course the above will never happen. The QWA will be stuck on its presently level of participation and quality of lifting.

If however you think as I do that the principal job of those professionally involved in sport is to TRAIN others to perform coaching, refereeing and administrative functions so that our sport can grow then consider the following:

What you should do!

What Weightlifting’s Administrators should do!

Offer you services as an organiser of events

Write resources and develop and deliver courses which TRAIN you to run events more effectively

Offer your services as a coach

Write resources and develop and deliver courses which TRAIN you to be a better coach

Offer your services as a referee

Write resources and develop and deliver courses which TRAIN you to be a better referee

Offer your services as a fund-raiser

Write resources and develop and deliver courses which TRAIN you in fund-raising and sponsorship getting.

Get the picture! By these processes we can multiply the effort tenfold.

I am no longer working at the QWA but I am still most definitely involved in “Working for the Future of Weightlifting”. I am now at Southbank Institute of TAFE (SBIT) teaching the advanced diploma of recreation management. SBIT also offers full and part-time diploma courses in sports coaching and fitness. Why don’t you start your journey of DISCOVERY and LEARNING and see where it takes you!

League ‘97

When was the last time a weightlifter in Queensland, or for that matter Australia, competed against ten or more opponents who all provided stiff competition? When was the last time a weightlifting competition was held in Queensland where the placings in most divisions were not a foregone conclusion? Answer: February 8th, 1997. On this date the first round of the QWA’s League ‘97 took place.

Based on the format of the Healthequip Queensland 1000, this League provides the opportunity for all lifters, coaches, officials and spectators to enjoy the excitement of truly competitive sport.

The object of the QWA’s League ‘97 is simple: to provide a style of competition in which weightlifters can compete against others with similar levels of ability for lucrative rewards and to foster a competition environment where personal best performances are valued as the highest achievement.

Below are the rules and regulations under which the League will operate in 1997. The course of the competition in all events associated with the League, of course, must be in accordance with the rules of the Australian Weightlifting Federation.

Classification of Competitors

The League contains four levels or divisions of competition. Athletes are classified according to their best official competition total since January 1st, 1996 expressed as a percentage of the relevant World Record (WR) as at January 1st, 1997. The following classification standards apply:

Division 1 >= 60% of WR

Division 2 <60% >=50% of WR

Division 3 <50% >=40% of WR

Division 4 <40% of WR

Athletes compete within the division in which they are classified at the commencement of the League for the duration of 1997 regardless of any change in their level of performance during the year. Individuals who have not previously recorded an official competition total are classified in Division 4.

Competition Format

The League consists of four competition rounds and one Final. Participation in the competition rounds is open to all members of the QWA. The placings in each division in each round are decided by the point scores achieved in the round. Participation in the Final is confined to the ten (10) highest point scorers in Division 1 and the five (5) highest point scorers in each of Division 2, Division 3 and Division 4, based upon the individuals’ aggregate score from no more than three of the four competition rounds.

Round 2

Round 3

Round 4

60+51+48=159 points

Regional Participation

QWA members who reside in the Central and Northern Regions may participate either in the scheduled competition rounds conducted in the Southern Division or an official weightlifting competition sanctioned by their relevant Regional Council and conducted within their own Region. These competitions must take place within ten days prior to the scheduled round (QWA calendar). The results, accompanied by the appropriate competition entry fees, must be received by the QWA Executive Director before the commencement of the scheduled round.

Results achieved by Queensland athletes competing in National or International events which take place within seven days prior to or after the scheduled round will also be accepted.

Scoring

League ‘97 scores will be calculated in the following manner:

Percentage of World Record

The competitor’s final total is calculated as a percentage of the relevant World Record Total.

The final total divided by the World Record x 100 = Percentage Points.

Personal Best Bonus

Points will be awarded for equalling or exceeding current Personal Best results according to the following scale:

Heaviest Snatch equalling Personal Best1 Point

Heaviest Snatch exceeding Personal Best5 Points

Heaviest Clean & Jerk equalling Personal Best1 Point

Heaviest Clean & Jerk exceeding Personal Best5 Points

Final Total equalling Personal Best1 Point

Final Total exceeding Personal Best5 Points

Six out of Six Bonus

Six (6) points will be awarded for all six attempts being successfully completed.

Penalty Points

The following Penalty Points will accrue for performances below Personal Best:

Heaviest Snatch more than 5kg below Personal Best-3 Points

Heaviest Snatch more than 10kg below Personal Best-5 Points

Heaviest Clean & Jerk more than 5kg below Personal Best-3 Points

Heaviest Clean & Jerk more than 10kg below Personal Best-5 Points

Final Total more than 5kg below Personal Best-3 Points

Final Total more than 10kg below Personal Best-5 Points

Calculating the Final Score

Percentage of World Record + Bonus Points* + Penalty Points = Final Score

*Maximum Bonus Points possible: PB snatch + PB clean & jerk + PB total + 6 out of 6 = 21

Personal Best

For the purposes of League ‘97, the initial Personal Best results for Snatch, Clean & Jerk and Total are those achieved in any official weightlifting competition held between January 1st, 1996 and Round 1 of League ‘97. After Round 1 of League ‘97, the Personal Best results used to calculate competitor’s scores will be those achieved in any official weightlifting competition held during 1996 and any official weightlifting competition, excluding National and International events, held in 1997.

In the event of an entrant’s Personal Best Snatch or Clean & Jerk not being a multiple of 2.5, e.g. record of 102kg, the actual weight will be rounded down to the nearest weight which is a multiple of 2.5. The adjusted weight which is a multiple of 2.5 will be regarded as the entrant’s Personal Best. A new Personal Best result must exceed the previous Personal Best by a minimum of 2.5kg.

An entrant who has not recorded a result in an official weightlifting competition held after January 1st, 1996 and therefore has no current Personal Bests, will not receive Bonus Points or Penalty Points.

1. For all National Championships each State/Territory Association is entitled to be represented by at least a full team. Should a State/Territory have more than a full team qualified, then they may all compete and the State/Territory must nominate the lifters to count in the point scoring before the Championship starts.

2. If non-qualified lifters are entered in Championships (as per point 1), then they must compete in the bodyweight category in which they have been entered.

3. Lifters may only compete in a higher bodyweight category than the one in which they have been entered if they have equalled or exceeded the qualifying standard in the next category. Lifters may only move up one bodyweight category and no lifter may compete in a lighter bodyweight category than which they have been entered.

GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Saree Williams, Amanda Phillips, Diana Loy, Debra Keelan and Angie Bentley on receiving invites to lift at the Telstra Moomba International Weightlifting Competition to be held in March. All the best girls.

Check out our girls Commonwealth rankings on page .......... Well done all!!

Hope to see Amanda Wegert make her lifting debut in the very near future. Hubbie Craig started her off in fine style but has been a bit too busy to continue as her coach, so Debra Keelan has stepped in.

Amanda Wegert has had a positive influence on our female “athletes”, some have actually been seen jogging around the complex on a regular basis!!! No, Saree Williams isn’t one of them!!!

Amanda Phillips, Saree Williams and Amanda Wegert all attended the QWA Officiating Course held on 1st February - just need to sit their exams now. Good luck girls. Looking forward to having some more female officials around.

Good news that Womens Weightlifting is now a part of the Commonwealth and Olympic Games competition program. Just waiting on confirmation of the new bodyweight categories.

Only one female - good old Amanda Phillips, lifted in the Australia Day competition held in Toowoomba, and consequently won the prize money. C’mon girls we can’t be letting that happen again. Looking forward to a bigger turn-up at the League launch.

An informal survey of some of our female lifters preferred foods following weigh-in showed up some interesting combinations. Don’t know what a dietitian would make of this lot: Angie Bentley reckons that a gooey chocolate bar washed down with a coffee is the way to go; Amanda Phillips scoffs down a bowl of plain cooked pasta (no sauce) washed down with water; Saree Williams puts McDonalds up at the top of the list, she reckons she always lifts better when she feels sick (so that would definitely be the place to go). Debbie Keelan has taken up the pasta thing but adds tuna and a dash of parmesan cheese, washed down with gatorade. Beth Isaac has been heard to say that you can’t go past the old Mars bar. Interesting stuff??!!

Congratulations to Debbie Keelan who won best female lifter in the Oceania Masters Postal Competition + her age and bodyweight category. Gold also to Jenny Betts.

Speaking of Jenny Betts ................. lost, reward offered for safe return!!!

Amanda Phillips was nominated by Redland Shire Councilor Ray Bucknall in the Shires Australia Day celebrations in the Sports Award Under 18 category. Well done.

And we thought Saree Williams was short - check out the Softball player in the latest Women Sport magazine, just 18cm tall!!?? Speaking of that magazine, check out page 54 for our very own Amanda Phillips. Available at all good newsagents.

The League launch on the 8th February saw Nicole Burnie of Toowoomba set a new State Clean & Jerk record to take out second place in the division 4 competition. Well done. Keep up with that training, Nicole.

Congratulations to Diana Loy and her husband - they are expecting a baby.
