I discussed using this venue with PCYC and apparently they did make enquiries last year about using this venue. Definately a great venue with much better public viewing area.
They were informed that PCYC could not hire the facilities unless they were affilliated and all coaches/judges accredited. The cost of doing this would be about $50,000.
Challenge stadium has no such rules.
I am surprised that the new venue which is Government run is so exclusive.
PCYC cannot afford to pay $50,000 just to hire the facility for 1 day. That is rediculous.
PCYC do not want to be affilliated with gym WA. We have out own routines, own annual coaching clinics, and own system of badging and accreditation.
There does not appear to be any benefit to affililiation and the cost is so huge that it really is not a viable option.
Pity this great facility it is not able to be used by all citizens of Western Australia.
