Severn valley Novice strongman and Britain strongest woman contest June/July 2008.
Last year saw a new venue for the Seven valley novice contest but the same old great spirit of competition, this year we will be at the same place in Whitminster but the woman side of the event has taken on a different angle as this time they are fighting for the title of Britain Strongest Woman. The Mans side over the last two years have seen our winner go on to do very well in open events this years winner Keith finished in third place along with Paul Amor in the UK team event. My hope that is the Severn valley contest will be the one novice strongmen will want to win over all others.
So to 2008 because of people putting there names down for events and then not showing I am going to run the entry a bit different this year.
The entry fee will be £10 in Jan, £12 Feb, £14 March, £16 April, £18 May, £20 June and on the day £25. Every one will get a contest t-shirt and I hope a few other bits and bob’s.
