I would just like to say a big thank-you to Bob and the team for putting on such a good event at Barnard Castle.

This was my first comp and what a learning experience it was.

Unfortunately had to pull out after the first event (Chain drag) as it aggravated a serious and longstanding back injury that I have.

But hey .....I will be back, bigger, stronger, fitter and hopefully with a better, stronger back.

Thanks also to the other lads who competed especially Richard who were all very friendly and welcoming on the day.

Once again Elite Strongman promotions would like to thank John Toulson for letting us be part of the Barnard Castle Steam Fair, I would also like to thank all athletes whom put on a great show in what was a very hot day. The Biggest thank you to my wife (Trudy) the Elite strongman crew (My family) for all their hard work not just competition all the events all year round.

Bob Daglish
