Test Your Grip
In addition to these events we will have a stall there on the day with hand grippers and a variety of grip tools for you to all have a go with.
There will be a mini side competition for men and women which will consist of max lift on the one and only GOG rolling handle. Women will lift the 50mm rolling handle and the men will lift the 64mm rolling handle.
A small prize from Paddy and ourselves will be up for grabs on this grip event.
