MOSSEL BAY SPORT NEWS - The Southern Cape Spring Classic bodybuilding tournament is taking place as part of the Mossel Bay Sport and Recreation Festival on 5 October at the Diaz Hotel.
The Sport and Recreation Festival started on 14 September and continues until 12 October.
The Spring Classic is an International Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (IBFF) Africa event.
Mossel Bay's very own Fitness over 40 IBFF SA champ and reigning World Champion Rochelle Smit will be hosting the event.
Smit said: "We are expecting more than 100 athletes and 500 supporters."
"Our aim is to develop the talent in the previously disadvantaged communities. So many are willing, but lack the funds. Athletes sleep in police stations during tournaments as they do not have the money for accommodation. We must invest in the development of the enormous talent in the townships and rural communities."
Smit says: "Depending on the support and funds received, the Spring Classic could be implemented as a yearly event." She appeals to businesses or individuals to make use of sponsorship opportunities.
There will be 15 different competition categories in the Spring Classic.
Sponsors can donate cash, contribute to the music and lighting or donate printed T-shirts, mugs and caps. Sponsors can also donate supplements and vouchers for gift bags which will be handed out.
In return, sponsors:
- Can supply their business banner and it will be prominently displayed.
- Will receive a social media advertisement.
- Will be acknowledged when the list of sponsors is read out during the competition.
To sponsor the Spring Classic, contact Smit (082 944 2327), Grace (082 718 4755) or Mrs R du Toit at Mossel Bay Municipality (044 606 5067).
