Total Novice

Im a little confused about the whole competition/meet scene.
I would like to enter a raw comp just to get some experience and for the satisfaction of posting up offical PBs having just got into powerlifting in the last couple of months.
I live in Cheshire and dont want to have to travel more than 1-2 hrs tops so Im guessing some low level local/regional gig would suit.
Anything coming up in the autumn that might suit me or am I being unrealistic?

If you want to compete RAW then there are really ony 2 feds that hold raw comps in the UK (as far as I know). These are BWLA and BDFPA and they're both drug tested.

For information on BWLA comps, click on the following link and find your local contact and get in touch with them:
