With the move away from the All Schools Championship’s format to the new School Age Championships, QWA Life Member Ian Moir assisted in presenting the very full All Schools perpetual shield to the family of Roman Wojcieszuk at the recent The Chartist Qld Senior Championships held at Milton Weightlifting Club. Roman will always be remembered as a great champion of weightlifting in schools.
