Bess, 30, told Stabroek Sport that the Novices event is billed for April 9 at the Theatre Guild  while the flagship fixture of the GABBFF calendar is scheduled for July 10 at the National Cultural Centre.

The GABBFF head also disclosed that he has not received word from the Hugh Ross Classic Committee about staging their biennial show but was confident of an announcement soon. He was, however, certain that the Flex Night International event will be staged in early December.

Bess who stated that he will not be seeking re-election at the next AGM in 2017, further added that he hopes to have large contingents represent the Golden Arrowhead at the Central America and Caribbean (CAC) Bodybuilding Championships and the Darcy Beckles Classic.

The dates for those championships traditionally held in September and November respectively, have yet to be announced.
