Presentation to Chris Bass from I.A.W.A. – 1st November 2025

From Paul Barette (President – I.A.W.A.)

I had great pleasure in making a special presentation to Christopher Bass on behalf of I.A.W.A. at the 2025 Gold Cup in Derby.

Unfortunately, Chris was unable to make the event, so we recorded the presentation and I was able to catch up with Chris a few days later over a zoom call, to give him the news.

A special framed certificate of recognition, presented to recognise the constant work that Chris Bass does in services to the I.A.W.A.

The wording –

In sincere appreciation of your outstanding and dedicated service to the I.A.W.A. Your meticulous work in maintaining official records, updating the Blindt Coefficients, and supporting the administrative backbone of our organisation has been invaluable.

For many years, you have worked diligently behind the scenes, upholding the standards and integrity of All-Round Weightlifting.

Your contribution is deeply appreciated by all who benefit from your efforts.

Congratulations Chris!
