Could be the best show of the year.

There are a few tickets still available via Marks Facebook but I'd not waste any time getting them while you can.

Should be loads of MT'ers there including myself.

Re:Winter Giants '09 - 13 December 2009 19:36
It was a good event - and good to see a few MTers there.

The PA system was crap though - I couldn't hear a word the comentator was saying, which did ruin it a lot as we didn't know times and who placed where in which event.  Next time, they need a proper PA system and not using the tannoy speakers of the hall.

1st - Felix
2nd - Marku

Hollands injured.


Nah, that was for their stone run mate.
 
Top 4 were:
 
Mark Felix
Alex Curletto
Loz Shahlaei
Jimmy Marku
 
 
Was a great day, nice to catch up with a few guys I've not seen in a while, Jimmy, Spencer, Rob and also great to meet a few guys who I've been speaking to for a while, the likes of Loz and Terry.

Comp ran pretty smoothly, aye a few wee hick ups, but nothing major and what comp doesn't have a few minor problems?!

Most impressive thing of the day for me was Loz and Alex's stone run; 5stone run ending in 180kg for Loz in 15seconds?!
 
Few pics of mine:
