Member 3095, 135 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 240570.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I'm looking at getting a couple of local hotels on board as sponsors to give special rates to competitors. Should have this sorted by next week and I'll post the prices on here. Alternatively, I've been given permission to let competitors camp at the venue!! This is probably just for the VERY brave and those with all the thermal gear. But it is an option for those on a budget, I'll have the keys Friday night to let anyone in and there are also brand new showers on site, all indoors. Drop me a line as regards hotels, as the more numbers I have, then the better the deal I'll have from the hotel. Cheers Gibby | ||

Member 3095, 135 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 240570.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | No problem Hywel, on the day in the warm up area, there'll be a log, farmers walk frames, yolk and a stone to practice with before hand, just to get the feel of it and work on your technique. Not ideal prep for yourself, but better than just going in blind. Also, feel free to ask the more experienced guys or any of our loaders on the day for tips and advice. This will be a good first comp for you. As for the lads coming from up North, I'm on the case with a few hotels and B+Bs, just trying to negotiate the best deals for you. Cheers Gibby | ||

I must remind you all that your place has been reserved, but it is not guaranteed until I receive your entry fees. I now have 5 reserves in each class who are very keen to compete. Also, due to the costs involved with having such a good venue, I need to have entry fees in before the end of December to cover necessary costs. If for some reason you have sent your entry fee and it is not shown on the list, then contact me immediately, either ring me on 07875579122 or e-mail me at gibbynutrition@hotmail.co.uk If you're having trouble getting to a post office during work hours and would prefer to transfer money into my account, then please message me for details. Thanks Guys Gibby | ||
