President's Bulletin:
Updated 9th November 2026

105 online entrants so far for Nationals. These can be viewed at the bottom of the Nationals page & will be updated every Monday until the tournament.  Hollie & Amanda have been doing a lot of work answering enquiries, coaxing lists of names out of team captains & checking the details of the entries. If you see your name in the list of unconfirmed entries, we need more information. Everything you need to know is on the NATIONALS page. Please read it & re submit your entry with the correct information. Team captains who have been in touch, thank you. New pullers we haven't heard of who say they are with you need to be confirmed.  Please send your list of pullers you have who are safe to pull so we do not reject an entry unneccessarily. If you unknown to us, not in a club we do not have facility to check you are safe to pull on the day. You won't be able to compete. It's called duty of care & we are making reasonable efforts to protect the eager from unneccessary injury. Look on the clubs page, find a club near you & arrange to visit. You will need to have them add you to their list or contact us to confirm they deem that you are safe. Unknown clubs - make yourselves known if you wish to be included. There is a process, time is running out.

It's going to be hectic, triple elimination means an extra chance for everyone & a longer day.

​

We have 4 IFA refs coming to help, 4 tables & a different room layout. I intend to start ontime at 12pm & be efficient. When weigh in closes at 11 latecomers are superheavyweights or spectators. Team Captains - please direct your teams to read the instructions on the Nationals page. Monday 23rd November is the last day of online entries.

​​

In the past Finals have been at the end, presentations after. The board agreed this week that we will run each table to the final, present the medals & then do the next section. This makes less of a spectacle, but saves people getting cold waiting for their final & allows those not interested to go home early without continually harrassing the score team as to what time their final might be. Nationals are important, it's a long day, those running it got up earlier & go home later than you. 

​​​

Filming. If Armgods want to film there will be power & a spot for them on stage with the scorers - others - no special treatment, don't get in the way please. ​

 

See you down the road.
