Thanks Andy sounds fair. Snatches allowed on the dumbells?

O ye whats the weather forecast looking like?

I will leave snatches up to reff maybe the guys at rules can have a vote
To early to have an acurate weather report but I hope it's as nice as it is today

Are we allowed to shoulder the sandbag andy and if not do we have to lift it off the pkinth or can we choose to lift it from the floor?

What will the crowd challenge be or is it a surprise?
