MEET ANNOUNCEMENT –
JOHN VERNACCHIO MEMORIAL RECORD DAY
It made me feel good to see this sanction request in the mail today. Our USAWA President Denny Habecker is hosting a memorial meet to a great man and legend in the USAWA – the late John Vernacchio. During the early years of the USAWA John was very involved as a lifter, coach, club founder, officer, and meet promoter in the USAWA. He influenced many to become involved in the USAWA and was a mentor to many all rounders. John V is one person we want to remember in our organization. Thank you Denny for hosting a record day in his memory!

LIFT AT LOU’S
We are about to have our first USAWA event in New Jersey. Lou Tortorelli, of Lou’s Physical Culture Studio, is hosting a record day at his training facility. Lou has always been interested in Odd Lifting and the history of Old Time Strongman Lifting. This first event will be by “invitation only” as he doesn’t want a large group for his first event. But hopefully, it will be a big success and he will host more competitions in the USAWA.
Meet Director: Lou Tortorelli
Meet Date: September 23rd, 2017
Location:
Lou’s Physical Culture Studio

2017 IAWA GOLD CUP
The 2017 IAWA Gold Cup will be held in Glasgow, Scotland on November 4th, 2017. Joint promoters of this important IAWA competition are Mathew Finkle and Andrew Tomlin. Both these guys are veterans of promoting meets and have promoted excellent Gold Cups in the past. I assure anyone going this will be an outstanding event.
It will be a little different this year in Glasgow as the event venue will be different than before. This year the Gold Cup will be at the Croftfoot Scout Hall. Matt and Andy have already made plans for a banquet after the meet, held at the Ivory Hotel.
