Hi,
I am hosting a strongman event on 14th July 2012. The aim of this event is to raise money for next seasons rugby kit (to go alongside our league promotion).
“Oswestrys Strongest Man” will be held on 14th July 2012 at the Oswestry Rugby Club, Park hall, SY11 4AB.
As well as the main event there will also be a bar, a BBQ, a raffle and several stalls offering information on local sports clubs, health and nutritional advice and sports massages.
We are also offering the opportunity for local businesses to sponsor an event in the strongman competition.
Sponsorship is £25 per event. This entitles the sponsor to advertise their business at the event with billboards and posters etc. Also, before each sponsored event the business sponsoring will be announced over the PA.
‘Oswestry’s Strongest Man’ will be judged on several events. These are:
• Deadlift for reps (using an Olympic bar) – 180kg
• Hercules Grip
• Overhead Log Press – 80kg
• Farmers Walk – 80-90kg + Tyre Flip - over distance
• Anvil / Stone carry for distance - Weight to be confirmed
• Atlas Stones - 90 - 105 - 120 - 130 - 160
Official registration will take place at 10am on the day. With the competition starting at around 11am.
Please either email me at oswestrystrongman hotmail.co.uk or message me on the event facebook page, or my personal facebook account.
If you are interested in taking part in this event please message me beforehand with your name, age, weight and any experience you have in strongman competitions. Please also include your deadlift, bench press and overhead press PBs (personal bests). This will help me choose competitors which are best suited to this competition.
There is an entrance fee of £15 per competitor. This will cover the costs of prizes and expenses. Spectators enter for free, but donation buckets will be present if you wish to make any contributions towards next seasons rugby kit.
Thanks, |
