Hey all,
There is a first timers comp coming up next march, open to anyone, not just Scottish residents, who has not competed in strongman before. Events are pretty easy, so even folk who do not specifically train for it should be able to do ok. Anyone wanting to take part should be able to crash at the cult pad for a night or two, and/or come up and train in advance. Here's the info;
