First Western Canadian Nationals are a GO!!!!!!

[adamprice88]

Hi Everyone

Just a quick announcement.

We have a tentative venue and date for the first ever Western Canadian Nationals. Unless something terrible happens, it will be Aug 14th and 15th at the Silver Dollar Casino in Calgary, Alberta. All will be welcome. World and National records will be able to be broken at this meet as well.


Also, this event is being structured as a charity fund raiser with all proceeds going to the Alberta Cancer Foundation and the Special Olympics. Aside from covering expenses, I will not be taking a dime from this event, and I will be offering reduced entrance fees to lifters who bring in donations. More info to come on this one.


I'll post here as often as I can to keep you updated, but if you are on Facebook, please search "100 Raw Pwerlifting Canada" and you'll find the Facebook group.

Good training everyone. Hope to see you in August.

Latest Update

We have the blessing of the Alberta Cancer Foundation!!!!!!! I'm meeting with the Silver Dollar Casino this Wednesday to nail down the venue. There has been a change in ownership, but I don't forsee any issues with securing the room for the event. Once I have the venue locked down tight, I'll throw the event on to PowerliftingWatch.com.

Good Lifting.

Another Update

Negotiations with the Silver Dollar Casino have fallen through, but I am pleased to announce that a hotel in Calgary called the Blackfoot Inn has stepped up to the plate and offered to host the event on the last week of July. If all goes well, I'll have a deposit paid to them by Tuesday.

Anyone from out of town will get a special rate on their room, and there is a whirlpool and sauna at the hotel for cutting weight. This is actually a better venue than the Silver Dollar ever was.

I will post an update as soon as I have the venue nailed down. We'll know by Tuesday.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!

Booking confirmed. The Blackfoot Inn has been booked. The first ever 2010 Canadian Nationals will be held July 31st- Aug 1st at the Blackfoot Inn in Calgary Alberta.

Discounted rates will be given to all lifters that choose to stay there.

And in conversation with the Blackfoot Inn, they are interested in holding several meets a year. I can't say no to that.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! IT'S ON BABY!!!!
