As mentioned in the Forum, we are starting to plan the Welsh 105kg qualifier for BSM and run a First Timers/Novice comp alongside this. In order to capitalise on an competition such as this and to take advantage of a potential money raising event, we would like to be putting this comp on in aid of Cancer Research Wales. In doing so, we would hope that all entry fees will go straight to the designated charity and in addition, if each competitor could raise - in sponsorship - just £10, we could have raised over £600 before a charity bucket has travelled through the crowd for the umpteenth time! The figure of £10 is just potential minimum amount that each competitor could obtain in sponsorship, but please, please get as much sponsorship as you can as it will be going to a very worthy cause. On a personal note, I lost my father to cancer last November aged 61 and have been thinking about putting on a Strongman comp to raise money in his memory and to move us all one tiny step closer to finding a cure for an illness that effects so many of us.

We’d like to start a list of competitors to start the ball rolling as it were. So we’ll leave it up to you to add to this thread expressing interest and your name will be added to either category you specify.

Again, not wishing to be discriminatory, we would like to draw as many strong, powerful and enthusiastic Welshmen out of the woodwork as possible before places are offered to our neighbouring countrymen. In order to increase the number of competitive strongment in Wales, this simply must be the first step and is not intended to offend or discriminate.
