The school just phoned and invited us back on Saturday June 30th 2007! This is 1 week earlier in the year than usual due the the Tour De France cycle race going through Dover the following weekend. This will be the 5th year of the contest, and I want it to be better than ever! Watch this space for more details.

This is looking very good already ! i think i got john the olympic silver medalist and dave gadd making a return to strongman and two others fancy their chances so a list of entry level weights to be used would be handy to see if they are good enough ? will be good to see u Bane ! |

I've not decided on the events or weights yet. The weights will be pretty much in line with what they were this year though, give or take a few % here and there. |

They call this place Hell's Fire Corner so i think Colin should think up a Hell's Fire Medley (with Dale in mind) ;) |

Thats just the sort of thing i would like to see , something that will keep the spectators watching and not just drift off like this year , the venue was great and Colin did a great job organising it there was nothing wrong from that point of view but something just did not captivate the spectators for some reason i think this was mainly because most of them had only come for the school feite but more advanced advertising to gyms and other interested parties should get the right atendance next year lets hope so anyway. And hopefully you Tom will get to be more involved in the activity and not have to spend all your time getting the event equipment ready that must have taken up most of your day ! hopefully we will see you in action again ! i am writing all this cos i am stuck here in the gym after just going home and finding some workman has fallen through my bedroom ceiling and then somehow got my electricity cut off so me and my two mastiffs are feeling very pissed off and first thing in the morning there will be a very dead workman.

Thats all for Colin to decide and with all the new kit available i am sure he will come up with something entertaining my concerns are only with advertising, strongman events at this level are mostly about raising money for some good charity or another so its not like powerlifting or bodybuilding where the amount of spectators isnt as important. advertising was the only weakness i saw in last years event i live very close by and only found out about it because Tom aranged for me to pick some new kit up off him there so it took four years to find out it even existed . time for coffee and sumat to eat just thrown a few fucks into these poxy builders. |

WC2007 EVENTS!! Deadlift for reps (75 second) (straps allowed, but no suits) I'm allowing straps as there is a lot of grip involved in later events and I don't want everyone's hands fried from the start! Women: 130kg u105kg: 220kg Heavyweights: 270kg Log for reps (75 seconds) Competitors get to choose between the two weights available for their class, however a competitor who gets at least one rep with the heavier weight will beat all competitors who select the lighter weight. Women: 55kg or 70kg u105kg: 100kg or 115kg Heavyweights: 125kg or 140kg Hercules Hold Weights TBC Carry and Drag (weights TBC) Women: Sandbag 15m, sled 15m u105kg: Barrell 15m, sled 15m Heavyweights: Barrell 15m, sled 15m Masochistic Farmers Medley of Doom!

Ideally these are the events I hope to run however. |
