I think I have been a bit misunderstood here!! I am so grateful of the support of all in the strongman community - I could achieve none of this without the support, humility, character and effort of all of you who help me to put this on. Its an effort to do something for a worthy charity, but also to promote the sport I love!! This event gets the cover of newspapers and radio - raising the profile of a sport that is getting increasingly pushed into obscurity (look at the Bravo coverage of WSM this year). Last year, people asked for DVD's and I had nothing to offer them. If I had my way, then I would give them out for free and give cash prizes and refund travel costs - I think all who help with this are worth that at least. But, we do all that we can and I think people will agree that the competitors last year took perhaps the best 'goody bags' I have seen at any competition - It took my wife and I three months of begging and scrounging to get the protien bars and powders, vitamin supplements, caps, t-shirts, towels etc that made up the competitor packs. We did this to show our thanks and appreciation for all of the kindness and effort. We anticipate the majority of the fundraising this year (as last year) will come from the stalls at the event, bouncy castle, snack vans, and the raffle. All of which come from donations that my wife and I seek throughout the whole year through literally hundreds of begging letters and constant trawling and harrassment of local businesses. I have about a dozen friends who help to badger bands, DJ's, T-shirt Companies, Printers etc all for free to make this event possible. I appreciate every single penny that everyone raises and I will never be able to thank the competitors and supporters enough. I hope that, for those who met some of the Children from CHASE last year, and again this year - you also feel that it is worthwhile. I am not generally mercinary at heart - but I am prepared to be for this cause. I volunteer my time at the hospice all year round, my wife is a nurse there, we fundraise in all sorts of other ways too. I asked 'how much people would be willing to pay for a DVD' to see if its viable and affordable, not to take the piss. Everything each one of you does - I am grateful for, and so are the children and families. http://www.chasecare.org.uk/page.asp?section=59§ionTitle=CHASE...

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225 495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	Im not trying to get at you pal. what your doing is obviously for a great cause and I take my hat off to you for it. just saying that the competitors make the comp so they are putting in something pretty big already without having to pay big entrance fees and extras etc.

My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts	At the very least you should be charging a tenner and at most about fifteen I reckon

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220 555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Sorry!! Sensitive I guess! No offense taken. Stoneman - thanks again, and as always, look forward to seeing you tomorrow!! 10-15 quid sounds fair. The Chase comp is, and always will be, without entry fee. I ask for sponsorship, so people can get colleagues, friends and family to stick a few quid each in. If you raise some sponsorship, this comp should cost you nothing. On top of this you will get a nice bag of goodies, a great day out, a big happy feeling, and your body torn to bits through torturous and gruelling events. Sounds like Strongman Heaven.
