1 EU Cup

The invitation for the 1999 EU Cup has now been posted on the EPF website. The Championships are being held in Villefranche-sur-Saône, 25 km North of Lyon.

2 1999 European Bench Press Championships

The 1999 European Bench Press Championships are being held in Györ, Hungary, 80km from Budapest. The championship invitation is available on the EPF website. At these championships, disabled lifters will be allowed to wear a Bench Shirt, and they can elect to lift on either the normal IPF bench or the disabled bench. According to 5.03b, the promotor is entitled to impose a fine of max. 75DM per lifter, for those athletes entered less than 21 days before a chamionships. However, the Hungarian organisers have decided to limit the fine to 20DM for each late entry. If, for example, a federation nominates 11 lifters there is only a late name change, there is no fine to pay. If a federation nominates three lifters, then adds two more less than 21 days prior to the championships, a fine of 40DM is payable. If a federations nominations arrive less than 21 days before championships. then all lifters are subject to a fine of 20DM. To avoid these fines, please ensure that all nominations arrive in good time

3 1999 Baltic Cup

The Russians have worked hard to organise the 1999 Baltic Cup, and it is hoped that the Championships will not be cancelled due to lack of support. Invited Federations are asked to make every effort to send lifters to this event. The invitation will accompany the June EPF Info.
