;) Hi ladies and gents of the gym section. I am after your help. Firstly an up date, I competed at the weekend and managed to achieve 2nd place at the IBFA British Championships :) so my hard work paid off.
Yesterday I had the shock of my life and received and invitation to attend the IBFA Miss Europe and Miss Universe competitions in Italy in July!!!
This is where I need some help, no matter how big or small all will help. To compete I need to get there and pay my own air fare, 3 days accommodation is paid for but i need to be there two days before also, due to depletion requirements to get me in condition to stand on the stage.
If anyone would like to donate anything no matter how small or big to help me get there to represent Britain it would be a great help.
If you want to contact me to discuss sponsorship then I have a fan page on Face Book you can contact me on there or via here. I have the official paper work and wil be going out there with the IBFA British rep, so if you need any confirmation etc then it will all be verified.
I have managed to secure some funding from my local Chippy of all places :) .
Many thanks for taking the time to read this. Sorry if its in the wrong place or breaking any rules.
Tara :)

Well done.
Are you doing it for world peace, or isn't it that sort of competition ?
How much are the tickets, and what else do you need to cover ?
How have you gone about sponsorship, or isn't that allowed.
have you tried any of the Brit based airlines, and sports wear manufacturers etc.
I can put you in touch with a good promotions/sponsorship manager if you wish.
Let me think, and I'll PM you.
 
Congratulations on your second place achievement and we wish you well with your search for funding... CD

PS Ms T when did you get into this?... Good effort! :)

Morning, firstly I have good news, I have in my clutches one return ticket to Italy :) I would just like to say a huge thank you for the support of people its amazing and totally overwhelming.
Just got back from working in big smoke, so training schedule was a big buggered, but back to it now. I scheduled for being away so didnt miss anything. The guys who I work with help me tons, and know i have to eat often so eveything was good.

Carl been into fitness and sport since i was 12, competed competitively in and out of the ring kickboxing, boxing and martial art form. Picked up the weights just over 3 years ago and got hooked. So I have achieved a lot in my second year of competing competitively.

Proved a few people wrong and going places I never thought were achievable for me, not in the short time that I have been competing. Just to prove if you work your arse off enough, it can be achieved.

Well done.
Are you doing it for world peace, or isn't it that sort of competition ? Not that sort of competition, its quite a selfish sport tbh. However, I am willing if anyone needs a skantily clad muscle bound lady to help promote their charity, I will do any charity work for free, esp anything for Help the Heros fund. So if anyone out there needs any help and I am free and not working that day please shout. Any funds I receive re my website for contest prep that I don't use, also go to charity.

How much are the tickets, and what else do you need to cover ? To enter the competition it is 50 Euro, but you have to be invited first, you just cant turn up and enter. Flight Tickets I managed to get for £267 return to Naples from stanstead, also paid for train to get to standstead - return. (quite ridiculous as that was just over half of what it cost to get to Italy lol
Also bikini these range from £80 - £200, this time I am using the one I wore at Newcastle British IBFA Championships, to save money, also tan, is £20 a pot, use 3 pots, as you have to stack the colour and build it up over 3 days I have this already.

How have you gone about sponsorship, or isn't that allowed.I have approached a few coys for sponsorship, local ones as well as big companies, I get my protein and supplements at very low cost price (Dinosaur Nutrition, help me with this), and some items of clothing such as hoodies free. My local chip shop, of all people have kindly offered to help pay for my tickets too, big thank you to them!! I am a unknown athlete and bodybuilding its very hard to get sponsorship ( alittle bit of a taboo) from a company, you need to have placed 1st a few times or 2nd, being that it was only my 3rd comp, I need to win a few more times. I was not expecting to be put forward to the Universe if im totally honest, I thought that was a few years away, not a few weeks away lol if though I do well by some miracle and place in the top 3, then the doors might well open for me.

I think thats it. My next two comps which are in Italy on 3rd & 4th July :) IBFA Universe and Europe titles will be up for grabs. :)
 
J20 came 5th from what I can see in the Miss Shape section.
Which is astounding for her first big, big comp.
So she's probably still celebrating and brushing up on her Italian,,,,,,,,,,,, ooh, err, missus.
Well done T
