Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were not able to secure a site for power lifting practices in time to be able to compete at the Area power lifting competition. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will try to get a location for next year and hopefully be able to resume this sport in the 2012-2013 season. More information will be posted here when it gets closer to August 2012.
