Amateur
Jason Barnett 2nd Mens lightweight. Jason has a huge amount of muscle on his frame his back is very dense and muscular. Jasons condition was something to behold full, hard with striated glutes.Jason was not the most aesthetic physique but in the muscularity round he came into his own. He worked incredibly hard on stage and earned his 2nd place.

Sean Ferguson unplaced Mens middleweight. Sean was in a very tough line up
and seemed to have made a classic mistake of trying to hold size but unfortunately had forfitted condition. Had Sean shown the same condition as Edinburgh he would have done a lot better in this class.

Rob Hope 1st Mens middleweight. Oooh Rob rocked the house.
He was the best I have ever seen him tighter than ever but still extremly muscular and full.He is very symmetrical and balancd. Rob has incredible biceps an a rear double bicep pose that would scare any pro natural bodybuilder. Rob was obviously enjoying his time on stage and seemed to be lifted by the huge British support who could see he was totally dominating the class. Robs presentation was greatly improved and this made him an impossible package to beat.

Jon Clark 3rd Mens lightheavy. Jon was in incredible condition, dry and hard from top to toe. Jon has a very aesthetic physique with an awsome chest. Jon has made some great improvments this year and he was in even better condition than at the Britain a hard feat indeed. Jon was 4th in this class last year and is going in the right direction to make it to the top spot.

Beata Pearson 2nd Womens heavyweight. Beata's condition was greatly improved from the Britain obviously raising her game for the World championships. Beata has a great physique and good stage presence but needs to work on her poses especially her quarter turns. Beata has potential to win this class but needs a little more experience.

Overall Rob Hope. Rob came on stage with a huge smile to match his huge physique. He absolutely destroyed the opposition to claim his WNBF Pro card.
You could hardly hear them announce the winner the British crowd were that noisy. He made a noisy crowd very happy. Nigel and Vicky nearly missed their time on stage as they were so carried away watching Rob from backstage area. An unforgetable moment for the BNBF.
Rob is now looking forward to judging and guest posing at the BNBF comps next year. He will make a great pro.

Professionals

Rachael Hayes 4th Womens lightweight(under 117lbs) . Rachael was in great condition harder than at the Britain. Rachael knew she couldn't win on size so she used the thing she can do which is get in shape. Rachael has great shape and fabulous stage presence, you would not have known it was her first Pro competition. If Rachael can add more thickness to her physique she will be a force to be reconned with.A great Pro debut.

Cheryl Myers 8th Womens heavyweight(118lb and over). Cheryl looked nervous on stage and seemed overwhelmed by the experienced. Cheryl has a very muscular physique with a great side chest and good v-taper. Cheryl could have been a shade darker to show off her muscular physique. Cheryl has great potential and knowing Cheryl as I do she will be back next year bigger and better.

Vicky McCann 3rd Womens heavyweight(weighing 118lb). Vicky weighed in 6lb heavier than last year(thanks to a full year of Pro peptide.) Vicky was bigger fuller and harder than she had ever been. The British crowd were nervous for her as she was the lightest heavyweight but when she walked on stage she had an air of confidence which commanded attention. We realised that Vicky was not only feminine and aesthetic but was carrying a great amount of muscle on her small frame. Vicky's presentation was 2nd to none and her routine brought the house down. I and numerous others felt she was 2nd on the night but we were delighted with a 3rd place in her heavyweight debut.

Jon Harris 2nd Mens lightweight. What a start to a Pro career! Jon appeared nervous during the symmetry round but after some great call outs he got is ass in gear and performed like the Jon Harris we know. Jon with a very balanced physique presented a great package and managed to beat some of the best lightweights in the world. Jon has huge quads and a great side chest pose and always presents himself to his absolute best.This was a great end to a fantastic year and we now expect even greater things from 2nd in the world Jon Harris.

Nigel Davis 1st Mens lightweight. World champion at last, in my opinion this should have been Nigels 3rd World title. No disrespect to the other competitors but the minute Nigel Davis walked on stage it was evident that everyone else was fighting for 2nd place. Nigel's condition this year was incredible, rock hard, bone dry, full and muscular. Add this to his perfect symmetry and you have a package that is unbeatable on any natural stage. Nigel had added more thickness to is back and hamstrings which was evident the minute he turned to the rear. With a 26" waist and 48" chest, great sweeping thighs, wide lats and massive biceps he was in the shape of his life.

Wes Clarke 4th Mens heavyweight. Wes has a great frame and was in great condition. Wes looked a little flat and I felt that he could possibly have filled out more. Wes was dissappointed with his place but he needs a little more time and a bit more muscle on his huge frame to reach his maximum potential. Take your time Wes and it will come.

Overall Nigel Davis. Nigel was up for this and presented himself like the World champion he is. Miles Stovall has an aesthetic physique with a lot of muscle but could not match the perfection that is Nigel Davis in either department. It was a unanimous decision by the judges and audience. Nigel Davis OVERALL PROFESSIONAL WORLD CHAMPION and $6000 better of.

Well done to the whole team everyone turned up well prepared and performed brilliantly. The BNBF team conducted themselves in a very professional manner and were great ambassadors for the BNBF and British Natural Bodybuilding.
Thankyou all!

Thanks to everyone who travelled to support the team you were the loudest in the auditorium oooh. A special thanks to Gary Wiedenhof, Davy Hannah, and Liam Armstrong who tanned up the team.

I have to say a final congratulations to Rob and Nigel our OVERALL WORLD CHAMPIONS!
British Natural Bodybuilders the greatest in the World.
