 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | JC said: In England (and therefore Britain as the other nations are not comopetitive with our top boys) its Terry, as he won Englands last year Did all the top guys actually compete at that? I ask as there was no BSM right? You've had to make a subjective opnion to come to Terry being the best (I agree) Dean Bowring won IPF worlds last year, as Bolton didn't compete much etc then the best SHW is Dean Bowring. Easy. A central fed will be great for SM. I carn't see whyy you wouldn't want to consilidate the sport in a well run fed? | ||

Having a fed and it being well run are too completely different things Just my opinion that its going fine at the mo, so why change it | ||

From an outsider's perspective, there seem to be too many chiefs with big egos and their own agendas relating to equipment, personal kit, technique, depth, jerking etc etc. Be nice to see everyone singing off the same hymn sheet. | ||

This is not true IMO. TWI hold the rights to trademark 'Britaisn Strongest Man', I have just checked, so you cannot use that name without their permission, that is all. | ||

Member 566, 813 posts SQ 280, BP 175, DL 340795.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | You could always invite Colin Bryce to be on the governing panel of the said FED. This is not new to me, people on her it maybe, but this has been an issue ever since I started competing. Without people, or persons taking the steps to make this happen there is no point in talking about it!!! We don't need anymore suggestion to what we could do as a community. A FED would be a good idea to standardise things and promote the sport, but someones needs to something about it... any offers, I certainly haven't the time!! | ||

From a outsiders, who then went in and has now popped out for a bit, i agree with Austin, though his statement has alot less swearing than mine. | ||

Member 1227, 152 posts | We definatly need one to move the sport forward and be more accessible to the general public e.g more tv coverage and advertising would inspire people to try to be the next Terry Hollands etc. Needs to be run by people who's run a major contest and have competed themselves, e.g Colin Bryce or Glenn Ross | ||
