Its a real shame that in wales we cant get enough people to turn up and do a qualifier for BSM.

I think the first step is to know who cancelled the comp and if someone else put it on would it be accepted.

with all due respect to dave and dean,they had set the events up and bought new equipment , sorted out sponsors,even had a web site made letting everyone know when the last day thats the application forms should be in and only 5 people had bothered to send the forms in by that time...one of the competitors dropped out because of medical reasons(salivary gland infection needs operation).That leaves 4 names .BSM would only allow 8 competitors for a comp to take place and the top 2 would go through.if 4 competitors which is how it stood did turn up then there would be no point holding the comp.Dean is just fed up that there was such a lack of response and now people are now saying they would have done it .If they knew they were going to do it they should have enterd in advance like any other comp. Which i think is fair enough.Its just a case of a few athletes spoiling it for the rest of the others who had the balls in the first place to get involved....DIOLCH :sheep

What was said by TWI is that if less than 8 athletes did the qualifier only 1 would qualify not to not that he couldnt run it - that decision was down to Dean and Dave!

Im now intrested in putting the qualifier on myself just to get 2 welsh competitors at BSM - I need to know how to go about it!!

How many athletes do you think there are in Wales?

Don't forget there's no structure in Wales for poeple to compete, there's no awareness just these useful forums.... and not many people Know of these either.

If a few athletes are injured in one time of the year then your down to very small numbers.

Very true.

I think from a sponsorship point of view it may be crap with only 4 athletes and not much of a show.BUT it still needs to happen one way or another as its a qualifier which means no matter how many or who they are the 2 out of the 4 Should go to BSM.Even if its a no trophy no T shirt comp,the prize will be ,going to BSM.If the strongest are injured, then whoever is fit deserves to go because they will be the strongest at that particular time.

I couldnt agree more!!


So far all Iv had off Dean is he has no further intrest on the matter( I think he is well pissed off) - somthing was mentioned about laine snook running it but Iv got no further than that a the mo!!

Just keep on with it Dale.
I don't think anyone can blame Dean for getting the hump after putting effort into putting the comp on but its still GOT to happen.

DEAN BOLT

The bsm will be held between 7th-12 june at minehead. For 2 welsh atheltes to go there must be at least eight men in the contest, even if we had seven i was prepared to make up the 8th number. But after running shows with Dave for the past 4 years, at our own cost this one has been the final piss-take. I can understand and do not want people who are injured to enter (or make up the numbers) we are a country of 3 million? and only four men want to enter???

After the uk welsh show last year, which had at least £1000.00 worth of prizes, i would have hoped for more support. plus i've been in talks with the S4C to get a crew down to film, but film what? 4 guys? It makes a laughing stock of stongman in wales. All the gyms, all the strong guys, rugby players etc... and just four guys!

This is all i'm gonna say on the matter.

Richie,

Are you referring to Martin here?

Or has somebody else who originally wasn't going to do the comp, now agreed to enter?

Martin wasn't going to enter.......He told Dean last week that he wasn't going to compete because he has shin splints. His physio has advised him to lay off.

Dean was disappointed and Martin felt guilty....so he said he would think about it, depending on his shins....

I completly understand Deans point. Promotion of comps is a thankless job and when you put your heart, Time and Monkey into an event and so few enter it's sickening. I felt the same after last years team comp.

That having been said, as Andy says, the show must go on somehow.
