Reminder: only coaches with a BWL level 2 coaching certificate, DBS and current coach licence will be allowed in the warm up room.
Due to the theft of fractional discs from all of the competitions we have run over the past year, BWL has taken the disappointing decision to restrict access to these weights. Lifters who wish to use these discs during warm up will be required to deposit their passports. A full set must be handed back in order for the passport to be returned. If discs are missing the passport holder will be required to recompense BWL to the value of the missing items before receiving back their passport.
