12.01.2022 Hey Guys! Sorry for the late post but here are the full results from the Annual GPC Push Pull. A very quick day which was appreciated by all in this sticky weather. If things all go according to the Government's Covid Safe Plan, we look forward to welcoming spectators back into the gym in 2021! We understand that it is tough not having a crowd to cheer you on whilst you hit some impressive numbers on the platform, however, in accordance with Government guidelines regarding nu...mbers of people per square meters and based off the high crowd attendance in previous years, having a crowd just would not have been achievable under these tight circumstances within an enclosed space. We thank you for your understanding and thank you for your consideration towards each other whilst we get through this difficult year together. Congratulations to everyone who competed today & a special congratulations goes out to our overall winners Ben Knight & Jen Smith. We would also like to congratulate our National Record setters in which there are a few to mention - Jen Smith, Nikita Taylor, Michael Watt, Susan Edwards, Sa Dang, Caleb Dixon & Ben Knight.
