TOWA and non-TOWA teams are welcome to attend.
As our event has attracted YFC teams in the past, we are prepared to organise a mens and ladies YFC competition, 8 a side for men and 6 a side for ladies, so if you are a YFC team, do come along and take part in this competition, and you will be more than welcome to take part in the other weight classes on the day as well. A great opportunity for some competition practice in advance of your county YFC rallies, as well as learn some tug of war skills and tactics from many experienced teams who have represented England in recent seasons!
In addition we will be putting on a GENSB rules junior competition as well.
Teams are allowed to borrow up to 2 pullers per weight class in open competition, so if you are struggling to make a weight category, you can borrow pullers to help you make a weight. For mixed competition, mens teams and ladies teams may join forces to form mixed teams on the day.
Pulling order to be confirmed.
Refreshments will be available for purchase on the day too.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners and runners up in each weight category.
