Wales joined TWIF in the same year as Ireland and their first TWIF competition was also the European Championships 1968 in the Netherlands. Mr. Eric Shorthouse became the first Treasurer of TWIF in 1972 and after the death of Bill Hillyard in 1976, the second TWIF Secretary General. Wales has a relative small national association and participated in 99 TWIF competitions. In the World Games they won a bronze medal for Great Britain and twice the European Championships in 640KG. Wales has been the host country for a European Champion Outdoor and a World Championships Indoor.
