Here is some info which you should know

WEIGH IN

• There will be a weigh in of 1 hour, followed by an hour break, followed by the lifting.e.g. If the session you are lifting in starts at 10AM your weigh in would be 8AM to 9AM – get there at 7.45AM
• Wait outside the weigh in room until called in, as there is a specific order for weighing the competitors
• Make sure you have photo id with your date of birth on in case its asked for.
• Referees of the same gender as yourself will weigh you in – children can request a parent to be in the room as well
• You must weigh in wearing underwear only or naked 
• For your first comp don’t bother trying to make a specific bodyweight category unless I have told you to. There will be plenty of “opportunity” for this in future events. You should only ever make weight for a comp if there is a specific reason to do so
• At weigh in you need to nominate weights for your first snatch and clean and jerk. These will be weights we have discussed, agreed and practiced successfully numerous times in training.
