British Championships 2026 Feedback Opportunity

Matthew Curtain and the team at British Weight Lifting (BWL) welcome feedback following the 2026 British Championships.

Dear Members,

Now that the dust has settled, I wanted to thank everybody who contributed to what was undoubtedly the biggest and most ambitious British Championships to date.

Across two days at the Telford International Centre, nearly 300 athletes competed across three platforms in an event that brought together athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, spectators, partners and international guests from across our community and beyond. The Championships also served as an official qualification event towards Glasgow 2026 and marked the first major event delivered under our new Find Your Strong brand and strategic direction.

While we are incredibly proud of the event, we also know there is always room to improve and evolve. As part of that process, we are now seeking feedback from the membership and wider event community.

Whether you attended as an athlete, coach, technical official, volunteer, spectator or supporter, we would greatly value your feedback on areas including:

Competition delivery and scheduling
Venue and presentation
Athlete, coach and spectator experience
Multi-platform competition format
Masters competition structure
Communication and event information
Qualification System
Volunteer and workforce experience
Ideas for future Championships and formats

We are also keen to hear views on the possible introduction of a future Home Nations team competition within the British Championships programme following a number of positive discussions over the weekend.

Your feedback will help shape the future direction of our events as we continue working to modernise and strengthen the experience for everyone involved in our sports.

Thank you once again for your support, energy and commitment throughout the Championships weekend

Best regards,

Matthew Curtain

BWL CEO
