APC ANNUAL MEETING
Old business: None
to discuss.
New business: Set ground rules on front
and side judging of squats. We need consistent calling. It is not appropriate
for the head judge to red light for depth of squats. LB Baker stated these rules
have already been put in place as well as no relatives can judge each other or
be on the platform judging at the same time.
Marcell Allen suggested that we
recertify the judges. The decision was reached to recertify every 2 years and
President Andy Williamson 2nd the motion. A vote was made and this is
now a new rule.
I Brittany Hobbs was voted in as
secretary of the APC.
Marcell Allen suggested that we have 4
to 5 meets a year to really promote the APC. We held a vote and have decided to
hold 4 a year as well as the have been set for 2016.
We will hold the America’s Cup on
September 17th at Iron Beast gym in Gainesville, GA. We will have
donations set up. We are still awaiting a decision on which organization we are
giving donations to.
We will hold a push/pull meet on
November 12th at the community center in Thompson, GA. Michael Lloyd
is heading up this meet as well as really trying to promote this for military
guys. At this meet donations will be optional for attendees but what is
collected will go to the wounded warrior project.
Marcell Allen suggested to put the GPA
link on any facebook posts made. LB Baker seconds that and also suggested to
post things on website so they do not disappear on facebook.
Svetlana Baker wants to publicize that
they need referees for the world meet in Russia due to having 3 platforms. You
can apply online.
Gary Glenn suggested that on team
entries to use the best 6 lifters for scoring and not designate lifters. This
vote was vetoed as well as LB Baker pointed out you have to enter teams 10 days
prior to meet this rule is already in place.
Dana Tripp suggested to help judging we
should collaborate on the red lights given. LB Baker pointed out we already have
a rule in place that we can not collaborate on red lights due to persuasion.
Kendall Dean motioned a donation to
various organizations at every meet. This was voted in but the promoter can veto
this if they do not want to have a donation set up at their meet.
