ACCOMMODATION

Barringtons Motor Lodge are again both happy to offer corporate rates to all those attending the Bay of Plenty Bodybuilding Champs 2010. This is not just limited to athletes, but to supporters, family and friends attending the show. Just mention the Bay of Plenty Bodybuilding Champs and they’ll offer you the corporate rates (depending on availability of rooms/units of course)

Below is their web link and the corporate rates they are offering and a bit of ‘local knowledge’ description of both.

http://www.barringtonsmotorlodge.co.nz

Units Corporate Rates

Standard Studio $110

This is a very nice motel which offers some great facilities. Pak n Save, shops, petrol stations are a 5 minute stroll up the road. The CDB and competition venue are just a 5 minute drive away.

PUMP UP ROOM

There will be an allocated pump up room back stage for the competitors at the BOP Champs. (Kindly provided by Sunny Gymz Fitness Centre). There will be enough weights equipment on hand so no need for athletes to bring any. We’ll also have mirrors and great backstage heating.

N.B: No weights equipment is to be removed from the pump-up room.

We have a pump-up room co-ordinator ‘Paul Burke’ AKA ‘Paul The Geezer’ who will be there helping anyone who needs a hand pumping-up. Paul will also be in close communications with our backstage marshals Paul Malcolm and Helen Pollet and like last years NABBA BOP Champs, collectively do a fantastic job organising our athletes backstage and making sure the logistics from the pump up room to there call on stage run’s smoothly.

BACK STAGE PROCEDURES

We implemented a strategy last year which worked well and will be doing the same thing this year.

Athletes were advised that once they are asked to the pump up room by our back stage marshals they would have an estimated time of 10-15 mins until their class was due on stage.

N.B.: Athletes will need to be tanned and ready before they go to the pump-up room.

Our backstage marshals are Paul Malcolm (who will be sorting out the lads) and Helen Pollett (who will be sorting out the gals). These two marshals will be in continuous contact with our Stage Marshal Gary Fowell.

Our Stage marshal will try and time it so when your class is asked to the stage the transition will be straight from the pump up room and straight onto stage. Although Gary cannot predict how many rounds the head judge will run classes through, he will time it as best as possible.

In cases where your class is waiting on stage for the next class to finish, we will have portable heaters and also bands so that athletes can maintain that pump before going on stage.

Also, our two backstage marshals will be checking that all athletes have their competitor numbers on and put on the left hand side of the trunks or bikini bottoms and ensuring no competitor is chewing GUM before they go on stage.

BACKSTAGE TANNERS

We will have some experienced tanners backstage assisting anyone who needs a hand with their tanning and also giving those quick touch ups for those who require it. (Thanks to the Sunny Gymz team for assisting)

TOLIETS AND SHOWERS

Both the Men’s and Women’s changing room are spacious and both are equipped with toilets, showers, mirrors and heating. Athletes are NOT to use the public toilets in the main foyer of the theatre if they have applied tanning products to themselves.

HOUSE CLEANING

Once athletes have competed and would like to watch the show from the theatre, PLEASE cover up with a jersey, jacket and pants. Singlets or shorts are not acceptable as these won’t stop the tanning products getting on the seats which risk us losing our bond and most importantly future hire of the venue.

POWER LIFTING DEMONSTRATION

One of New Zealand’s most decorated powerlifters, Reuben Simanu, will be treating our audience to a power lifting demonstration at the evening show. Check out ‘just a few’ of his power lifting achievements:

- 5 times NZ Overall Men’s 3-Lift Powerlifting Champion

- Oceania and Commonwealth 3-lift and Bench Press Powerlifting Champion (Record Holder)

- 10 times NZ Men’s Bench Press Champ

- NZ’s Current Bench Press Record Holder (307kg)

- First man in commonwealth to bench over 300kgs

and the list just goes on and on…………………

This is a must see and we are very fortunate to have Big Reub compering the show as well.

Hope it all goes well Marty, sounds like you guys are running a well organised event that looks after the Athletes well, good stuff.

Back stage heaters are a real good idea for a winter show, I still remember doing the Counties a few years back on what turned out to be one of the coldest days of the year, most of the audience went home and returned in ski type jackets for the night show LOL, great little show, but pretty chilly for the athletes.

Best wishes to the Athletes and Promoters for a smooth event!

Cheers Matrix

Last year was my first time organising this show and it was a great success IMHO. I'm sure any one of the 40 athletes who competed will tell you my shows are very organised and totally revolved around the athletes and ensuring there experience is a stressfree and memorable one.

Bay of Plenty has a strong following in bodybuilding (especially in the Eastern Bay) and are equally great supporters. Last year I had over 20 helpers/volunteers and this year will be the same if not more.

Last years pre-judging was near full capacity and the night show was sold out. The crowd and audience support is amazing and they certainly create a great atmosphere for all the competitors.

Everyone takes home generous prize packages, mostly containing nutritional products such as BSN, Inner Armour, Muscle-Tech, Gaspari, Horleys and other goodies. The trophies are equally impressive, especially the ones for the overall champs.

Cheers

The NABBA Hawke's Bay Champs have progressively been getting bigger and better since the move to the smaller Tabard theater in 2008. In fact, regionally it was trumped only by the NABBA Waikato show in 2009 for athlete numbers. Due to this growth they have required to find a new larger home for the Championships and have now moved to Napier boys high school hall, which is a bigger venue for the members. As the expectation of athletics this year with several teams attending from both Palmerston north and the Bay of plenty regions. Please produce some more attachmen5t links for the detailed view of the topic.
