GENERAL CLUB NEWS

AT THE RECENT BRITISH UNDER 18 AND UNDER 23 CHAMPIONSHIPS HELD IN KILWINNING IN SCOTLAND THE PALACE OF ART LIFTERS TOOK 3 GOLD, 1 SILVER AND 2 BRONZE MEDALS.

THE LIFTERS THAT DID SO WELL WERE; STEPHANIE McDIARMID - COLETTE WILL - AMY HAMILTON - AMY LIU - HARIS ANSARI - MARK FITZPATRICK.

ALL THE LIFTERS ABOVE AS WELL AS DANNY CRAIG WILL BE COMPETING IN THE FORTH COMING SCOTTISH SENIORS WHICH ARE BEING HELD IN PITLOCHRY ON SAT 28th NOV.

ALEX FARQUHARSON RECENTLY PULLED A 10 TON TRUCK TO RAISE MONEY FOR MARIE CURIE CANCER CARE AND RAISED OVER £700, ALEX IS IN THE PALACE CLUB AND ALSO DOES POWERLIFTING COMPETITIONS.

THE CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS GROWING AT A STEADY RATE AND WE NOW HAVE OVER 20 LIFTERS OF ALL AGES AND ALL COMPETING IN THEIR RESPECTIVE AGE GROUPS. THE CLUB HAS BEEN WORKING WITH GLASGOW CULTURE AND SPORT TO UPDATE ALL THE POLICES AND PROCEDURES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE A WELCOMING, QUALIFIED COACH LED AND LIFTER FRIENDLY CLUB WITH CHILD PROTECTION AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL WE DO.

THE CLUB WILL HAVE MANY COMPETITIONS OVER THE COMING YEAR AND ALL THE LIFTERS WILL BE VERY BUSY TRAINING AND TRAVELLING TO COMPETITIONS AT HOME AND ABROAD SO THIS WILL MEAN LOTS OF FUND RAISING EVENTS TO GATHER ENOUGH FUNDS FOR THE TRIPS WHICH OUR NEW JUNIOR FUNDING RAISING COMMITTEE WILL TACKLE IN THE COMING MONTHS..
