Dear lifters
The significant rise in COVID-19 cases and the subsequent declaration of new coronavirus “Hot Spots” within Australia this month has forced the AWF, in consultation with Weightlifting Tasmania and the NSW Weightlifting Association, to postpone and relocate the 2020 National Youth & Under 15 Championships.
It is now planned to combine the 2020 National Youth & Under 15 Championships with the National Senior and Under 23 and Junior Championships in Sydney on 24 – 28 November. The cooperation and understanding of all State Members, and particularly those that have been directly affected by the relocation of championships this year, either away from them – WA and TAS – or to them – NSW – is greatly appreciated.
Updated entry forms will be forwarded by the end of this week. In the meantime, please find below a summary of the revised qualification and entry dates; and schedule of entry fees.
The AWF continues to be cautiously optimistic about conducting national championships this year, but the health and safety of all participants is of course paramount. If it becomes necessary to make further changes to event schedules, I’ll endeavour to inform you all as soon as possible.
