Today the President WFF-WBBF UK DAYO AUDI writes:

Hello there,
I have received the criteria for those eligible to compete in the Pro show from Edmundas. Once the poster is out(which should be pretty soon) ,I feel Uk body builders will decide.Really we will not know until after the closing date of entries which has been set at 2 weeks before the event for the Pro.Many UK bodybuilders keep their preparations private and get on with their preparations.I feel we will get a number of good competitors entering.
The Amateur Grand Prix will hopefully get bigger with time and it would be nice to get some of your promising amateurs over.We are grateful for your support and are happy to extend our hand of friendship and make it truely International.As the Chinese say"The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step". We have started the journey.Let us keep moving.I will give you constant updates as to what is going on our end and hope we can put on a good show we can all feel proud of, for the good of the sport we love and for fitness and bodybuilding in general.

Today we received one more letter from the Republic of South Aafrica (RSA):

Dear Edmundas,
I am looking for a good competitive home for my athletes.
I have tried making contact with NABBA Europe, and NABBA South africa, and to date have not been able to get a reply.
I know there is a co-operative agreement of sorts between NABBA and WBF, is there a chance of having a WBF office open in South Africa, and WBF sanctioned contests held here, I and my athletes have grown
tired of the political infighting amongst the organisations, and even amongst provincial bodies of the same organisation.
All we request is a home were athletes of all ages and races can compete against each other no matter what their other affiliations.
We believe that competition should be open to any who want to compete.
I have been a scrutineer for both IFBB and WPF for more than a decade, and have just redone my IFBB judges course.
I have organized the Splash Bodybuilding festival, provincial shows and national show,Clash of Titans and Muscle Mayhem.
I hope that you would be able to help or point me in the right direction.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours in Sport
Brian Kitching
