Following the postponement of the England Age Group Championships on 21-22 March due to Coronavirus, British Weight Lifting are now proposing to merge this competition with the British Age Group Championships due to take place 17-18 October 2020 at Loughborough University.

Please note that this is provisional and is subject to the ever changing situation presented by COVID-19.

British and English Age Group Championships

Combining the British and English Age Group Championships will mean that lifters will still have the opportunity to compete for both British titles and English Age Group titles in 2020.

This competition will run as a single event, if lifters have qualified for both events they will compete once with their results applying in both competitions at no extra cost.

The competition will include age groups from Under 10 to Under 23 for both English and British elements.

Qualification

In light of the limited number of opportunities in 2020 to qualify for this competition, BWL are currently reviewing the qualification window and criteria and will publish an update on this over the coming weeks.

Entries

BWL are aware of the financial impact COVID-19 is having on our members. In a change to our TCRR regulations, we will only be charging one entry fee, regardless of whether people qualify for the English, British or both competitions.

Entry dates and fee’s for this competition will be published over the coming weeks.
