Nationals Venue Site
by Al Myers
This is just a reminder that the National Championships this coming weekend will be at the home of Denny and Judy Habecker (address is located on the Entry Info Sheet). Denny has announced this some time back on the USAWA Discussion Forum, but it may have been missed by some. Denny has a large backyard, and plans to have a tent and platform set up for the competition. So come prepared to be outside! When Denny hosted the 2010 Nationals he had it outside as well. I really enjoyed it – the “environment” of the meet seemed more relaxed than being inside. Weigh-ins will be 7:30-8:30 Saturday morning, with the lifting starting at 9:30. There will be enough lifters to have two sessions. The first session will be in the morning, and the second session will be in the afternoon.
Also – the Annual National Meeting will be held Saturday afternoon immediately following the day’s lifting. It is not mandatory to attend this meeting – but if you want to be part of the organizations “politics” this is your chance!
Now this comes from Judy (the real mastermind behind this weekend’s festivities – I know the truth Denny!!!):
From Judy-
