A great friend of Scottish Weightlifting Chris Maitland passed away on the 18th June 2010. He will be sadly missed. Chris was well known for strong man feats. He was Scottish Olympic champion and record holder and he was also a Power lifting champion.

The Scottish Masters Open held at the Palace of Arts in Glasgow went very well despite the low number of competitors. Hopefully future Scottish Masters competitions will have more lifters competing. Thanks to Gavin Despard, Neil Jordan and Ryan Coyle for being loaders.
