Mr Wilby Attends The Arnold’s Festival – The Gainsborough Academy news News  |  Features  |  Events Mr Wilby Attends The Arnold’s Festival April 16, 2026 On Friday 27th March, Mr Wilby travelled to the NEC in Birmingham to compete in the A/BPU Single Lifts British Championships at the Arnold’s Festival. Facing strong competition, Mr Wilby delivered an impressive performance throughout the day. In the morning, he completed three excellent bench press lifts, showing great strength and control. In the afternoon, he pushed himself even further with two outstanding deadlifts, narrowly missing his third attempt. His hard work and determination paid off, earning him a well-deserved silver medal and an invitation to compete at the ABPU World Championships in Manchester later this year. Well done, and good luck to Mr Wilby as he prepares for the next stage! #WeAreProudOfOurAchievements Proud to be TGA Prev Previous Story Rotary Young Citizens Awards Next Story Ski Trip 2026 Next Latest News Proud to be TGA TGA Proud Podium Just before Easter, we held our weekly Proud Podium, celebrating the many and varied achievements of 39 students.
