The audience was entertained by our very own local Pro Body Builder guest poser, Mr. Verdine Connor, who recently won the Muscle Mania Middleweight class earning his pro card. He was recognized by the Association for his growth and achievements, both locally and abroad, over the past years.
We also had for the first time our very own IFBB Pro Judge in the person of Mrs. Celest Pradel. We would like to extend to her congratulations on earning her pro judge card at the recently held inter-island competition inSt. Martinon June 30th.
We take this time to thank our sponsors and the many fans of the sport who have supported us throughout the years. We look forward to your continued support in the years to come. And our heartfelt gratitude goes to our athletes for their dedication and hard work.
Later this year some of our athletes will be representing Anguilla at the 40th Central American and Caribbean Championship Games (CAC) to be held in Puerto Rico from 20th to 22nd September.
