We’re just three days out from this year’s North West Open Championships!

We hope the below helps answer some of the FAQs we commonly hear.

Edge Hill University is easy to find, with plenty of free on site parking.

Once parked up, head to the Arts Centre, which is to the left of the main entrance.

▪️Athletes

From the entrance, follow the signs to the weigh in and warm up rooms.

Please ensure you have your BP Membership and openers ready to ensure a speedy weigh in for all our athletes.

Access to the holding area and platform will be clearly sign posted from the warm up room, and is strictly limited to the athletes and one coach per lifter for each session.

▪️Volunteers

We still have a few empty slots available over the weekend, so please check the schedule and get in touch if you are able to help out.

Platform crew - please wear black shorts / leggings / bottoms if you’re able to do so.

▪️Spectators

Spectators can book their tickets in advance via the NWPL website.

Follow the signs all the way to the right to access the theatre.

▪️Coaches

Coaching passes can be purchased via the NWPL website. Please dress appropriately (sports wear) and familiarise yourself with the rules.

▪️Food & Drink

There will be a range of food and drinks available at the bar, but you’re also welcome to bring your own.

There’s also a Morrisons on site for anything else you might need.

All members should be aware of the North West Powerlifting Member Standards which were introduced in 2023. The document is linked in our bio and is published on the North West Powerlifting website. It sets out the expectations of members in the North West division, whether that is as an athlete, coach, volunteer, official or spectator, and points of contact should there be any concerns.

We are extremely proud of the fantastic community across our affiliate clubs / gyms, on the NWPL WhatsApp channel, and at our events; we are committed to ensuring our community promotes an inclusive and progressive space and the Member Standards are consistently upheld.

We ask that all members regularly remind themselves, and each other, of the Member Standards and ensure they are conducting themselves accordingly, particularly having regard to the use of social media where it is expected all members will maintain a respectful online environment.
