The teams are in!

We now have all the teams registered for this years event and more details will follow shortly.

I would like to thank all of the lads including those offering to help for there support.

As I have stated this year i really want to support the Help for hero's campaign and all of the lads taking part are doing so at there own expense.

The same thanks goes to the event sponsor, Tribute real ale.

Here's a message from H4H explaining what the campaign is all about:

What is H4H all about? It’s about the blokes, our men and women. It’s about Derri, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It is about Ben, its about Steven and Andy and Mark, its about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."

Team strongman 2008

We are proud to have Tribute once again as main sponsor for this years competition.

This year we have removed the 105kg weight limit which means this year we open this up to teams of heavyweights !  Come and see what the big boys can lift as Britains Strongest man and Uk strongest man finalists and competitors come out to play on Ilfracombe pier.

Last year strongman and The Ilfracombe birdman event raised lots of money for good causes. This year we are going bigger and better to raise even more .My primary wish is to raise awareness of the fantastic 'Help for Heroes' campaign (scroll down the page for more)
