NEW IFA PRESIDENT Marian Capla has been in touch:
"Just wondering, maybe 5 people can avoid UK nationals and would be willing to go to represent UK in the very first Team WCH in Baku.
Can you just ask the team?
There are unique conditions - free accomodation with HB for team, no starting fees.
You have all invitation package already so just share it please and I believe there are 4 men and 1 woman who would like to attend.
Thank you and take care,
Marian Čapla
IFA President"
Obviously a lot of you won't want to go because it is the same weekend as our Nationals. But it is open entry so you're not selected - as long as you are able to pull for the UK under the usual residency rules we'll put you forward. This means no hopers like me could get to take part in the first World Team Championships. Maybe I should go & leave someone else to sort out all the Nationals. Anyway, read the outlines in the link above - ignore the closing date - he's asked us to put forward a team so they've extended it. It could be a club trip. Have a read, have a think & use the get in touch button if you are interested.

Warzone Season final is next weekend on Saturday 17th October. Only three men have done enough since February to take the belt home. The three champions in question are getting themselves ready with the help of their clubs & the preparations are said to be very unique, our very own imbecile has produced an artists impression of the secret training.
Down at Odin's Gym, Oli Williams & the team are force feeding Chopper Karl Crosby two gallons of Devon clotted cream every day to make up the weight difference between him and Callum Rice.

Meanwhile, up in Scotland David Bradford and the Hawk Armwrestling team have got Bogdan Badiu on Dunsinane Hill doing a barefoot sword dance with James Stewart on his shoulders. The plan is to make him more agile against Karl Crosby.

Unconcerned, Alan Greaves & the Badboys have Callum Rice chained to a pit prop in a disused mine shaft somewhere in Chesterfield. He has to do the secret Chesterfield grip exercises 500 reps each hand and for that they feed him a lump of coal & purr kick his shins with steel toe cap boots.
Warzone Final in Birmingham will see one of these take home the road warrior belt - but fighting each other isn't enough. Any crazed road warrior thrown into the mix can upset their strategy & take points off them - the Gold Medal goes to the first to get 15 pins but the fight for the belt could be anywhere below it. Livestream? Maybe. Maybe not. Best be part of it first hand, support your champion or if you think you have what it takes to pin them & cause an upset you know where we'll be.
Nationals questions - lets start all that next week. See NATIONALS page for now.
See you down the road.
