EGM - December 6th: SE+GL Merger
The meet to disslove the SE and merge with GL is on Dec 6 at Crystal Palace at 1400. Venue not yet known.
I will advise all SE clubs when I know the venue.
The voting is limited to those present and all must be 18 or over. Proof of membership and age is required.
Clubs are limited to 10 votes per each 30 BWLA members. So far as I know Woking and B Green are the only clubs with more than 30 BWLA members.
The only agenda item is the merger.
After that there will be an AGM, the first, of the new merged division, to elect officers and set Council meeting dates. At a minimum we need a president; chairman; treasurer; course organiser; web/bulletin editor; weightlifting competition sectretary; child protection officer; technical officer (redfereeing and refs courses) and then a number of committee members. The two divisions are already working out a joint weightlifting calendar using the two current venues: CP and Woking.
I will, in notifying SE clubs, advise about these vacancies and ask for volunteers. Remember that London will also seek volunteers and it is only fair that both the old divisions have representatives and share the workload.
London's position at the EGM may differ as they are a Ltd Co. and not created, nor, in essence recognised by BWLA. This means they can run their AGM, at 1100 the same day, according to their rules. My reference is the Articles of Association agreeed in 2008 at the BWLA\AGM.
It is intended that the finances will be merged, and to that end the SE has depositied £1000 in a new account with GL and SE officers as signatories. So far GL has not added its £1000 and there may be difficulties as they try to close their Ltd. Co., so, in the interim, the new division may depend entirely on SE money! We just have to hope it gets sorted out quickly.

More From Britain's Most Powerful Youth
The male over all winner was again from St Birinus school: Rob Green, with 671 points, 11 ahead of nearest rival Mike Sheard. St Birinus have won three years in a row. The best female was Zoe Smith with 540 points, better than 3 of the lads. She really did not need to try as none of the other girls who were invited were able to accept.
The contest is in four age groups and competitors are selected based on their results in the Postal Clean & Jerk scheme (details from: brianhamill59@googlemail.com). The feats are: Shuttle Sprint; Triple Broad Jump (two footed take offs); Overhead Shot throw and Clean & Jerk: the Power Quadrathlon.
In the under 14 age group Chi Chea, one of three lifting brothers, won, with 601 points, ahead of Mitch Arkle (490). Hakim Babalola took top spot in the 14/15 group with 644, narrowly beating Team Manchester team mate Alex Collier (641). In the 16/17 group Rob Green added to his over all win. There were no acceptances amongst the 18 year olds.
Guest celebrities, all well over 18, included Chris Chea (758); Tom Norman, a discus specialist (562) and Russ Kirby, Rugby, Strong Man events and Powerlifter (524), not quite up to Zoe’s level!
I had a super help from many helpers, officials and volunteers. Special thanks to Keith Morgan for arranging the venue, the buffet and the accommodation. It was great to be involved in an event where there were no grumbles and no complaints. And don’t worry Mitch: I have your trophy safe!
