David Horne Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Gazza, That would be a great prize! I think the inscription would best with the contest and date on.

David Horne Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Stan Pike's new web site is http://www.hand-grippers.com/ This is for ordering grip stuff and Robert Baraban grippers in the UK. Stan's asked me to make everyone aware that he is Robert Baraban's sole UK distributor. So please place all orders through him at the new site.

Sometimes we forget(I know i do)but we each need to pay back what we have graciously been given,the friendship David and his grip gang showed me when i competed and visited was and is much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I agree Gazza, that's why my company has been added to the list. Let's hope others can do the same - putting something back into the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunny Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Wow what a list.. Is the Gripboard Dynamometer likely to be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Gazza, Yes Stan Pike is a strong man as well as being a kind man. He has a real love for everything Physical Culture. I don't know what stuff I have got sponsored yet, so I think we'll go with Champion of Champions Grip Contest 2005, England. Then I can decide later where to place this great prize. Of course we'd love to have you down helping, etc. Thanks for your kind words, we have always tried to make it a good time for competitors. I tell you this contest could be good Maybe we could have it every 2 or 4 year (like Olympics), and change continents. Boy I wish I could mention the competitors names David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 The gripper contest will be a 10 secs strap hold (with 1 1/4k) with as hard a gripper as you can. I will be posting the exact rules soon, but most are straight forward. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 David Will you be having the boyz around your gaff the day after to drool over you grip collection and mess about with the kegs,Kalle stone etc as i think that is always a great ending to your annual grip comps and much enjoyed. Forgot to mention Elizabeth has also helped you run and do a 1st class job each year,a nice prize donated by the grip Princess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Gazza, Yes that sounds great. Usually some of us go out for a meal the night before, then after the contest we go for food and a drink, then the next day we have a play around with all the stuff at mine. Yes, I'm up for all that as it's a great way to meet people properly outside of competition. Can everyone please give me an insite into when you are arriving.
