Darren Rogers has been appointed as the new Chair of Weightlifting Wales.

Rogers, a very well-known and respected member of Weightlifting Wales, succeeds Barry Eaton in the post.

A Category 1 IWF Referee, he has been present at nearly all WW and British Weight Lifting events for many years as a volunteer.

“I would like to thank Barry Eaton for the hard work, dedication and vision he brought to Weightlifting Wales while he was Chair,” said Rogers.

Congratulations Darren.
Looking forward to working with you 👍 https://t.co/7fOFybagJK
