most definatley not an idiot Member 2731, 3819 posts SQ 280, BP 152.5, DL 280712.5 kgs @ 86.5kgs UnEq | martinmarshall said:It was like this last year with a quiet patch but it went ahead, and speaking for those who know 'Pint' even the tiniest bit, as far as I gather he was incredibly busy with work when I last chatted on facebook,I would also imagine that you can bet your bottom dollar that this going ahead. Especially as the cause is so close to Pint. So without jumping the gun too much and making statements on his behalf, I would have the utmost faith that the comp will happen (and I apologise in advance in case it turns out I am chatting bo***cks). Additionally, its not like any of us were going to not train at all if we werent doing the comp, so I would say just keep training and do the events on the day. We are strongmen - strong at everything not just the events we are training for in the 2 months leading up to a comp. | ||

Other people have busy lives as well | ||

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 04.04.2012 @ 20:01 PM by Pint It is uncharacteristically out of order of me to have not informed you of whats going on.I apologise and accept fully all the s**t that is coming my way. I can only promise that my wife, family and I have worked tirelessly to try and put this competition on bigger and better each year. Unfortunately this year everything has gone wrong. Firstly we lost the venue, then we lost several of the principal supporters (people who supply the food, drinks, PA equipment, tables, barriers, volunteers etc). Each time, we have strived to find a replacement or alternative. However, in the end we have failed to get this competition off the ground. We are left with two choices. To cancel or to postpone. We are willing to do the work to put this on later in the summer, but I know that many of you will no longer be interested. I understand this of course and I can only apologise and take full responsibility for all the trouble that I have put you to. I would like to extend my thanks for all your support and the kind words of some of those who know how much this means to my wife and I. I am sorry that I didnt have the decency to share with you all the difficulties we were having, but I had hoped that I wouldnt have to and that you could have all just turned up for a great day. If anyone would be interested in doing this later in the year, then please let me know (I will check this thread) but if not, please accept my apologies for wasting your time and accept my thanks for the support that you have shown this excellent cause including all your hard work and effort. With my apologies and thanks Matt | ||

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Thanks to Mr Rob "stoneman" Frampton, we now have the offer of holding the competition on the original date either at his "Strength Tec" gym in Fareham (nr Portsmouth) or, pending his discussion with some local officials, possibly holding it out in the town of Fareham for public display!! Rob has asked me to put it to you, the competitors, to tell me what you would prefer - a different venue, or a postpone to later in the summer. Knowing Rob and the strength-tec brethren as I do, I know that we would still have an incredible comp. Rob has given me a lesson in overcoming today. I hope that you will continue to stay with us and express your preferences and we will continue to make sure that this competition and great cause goes ahead, even if slightly different than originally planned. please let me know your thoughts and I will meet with Rob next week and a final decision will be made. | ||
