PRESIDENT's BULLETIN

Public·25 members

Updated 12th April 2026


Next PAA WARZONE is Devastating Devon/Odins Warzone 25th April (see events calendar) . This is a seaside adventure so bring your buckets, spades, string vests & knotted hankerchiefs if you're off to the beach afterwards. Is the missus fed up of you going away for armwrestling? This is the perfect opportunity - "how about a nice trip to the seaside? I've been looking at Devon, Westwood Ho & Bideford area looks promising." Arrive Friday night, pop out to get milk on Saturday & blame me for seeing you at the shop & kidnapping you til Saturday evening. I'll write you a note. 

The Warzone league is currently being led by Callum Rice with Bogdan Bodui, Chris Rimmer, David Bradford, Karl Crosby & Tom Atherton being the chasing pack. It's still early days with at least another five warzone events to go before someone gets to take it home forever…

Hostile Strength Warzone lived up to the hype of being my favourite road trip of the year & the thirty pullers who came provided a lot of great moments during the 548 matches that it took to determine David Bradford as champion of both arms. Callum Rice is currently leading the onslaught towards taking the belt home with Bogdan Bodui, Chris Rimmer, David Bradford, Karl Crosby & Tom Atherton being the chasing pack. It's still early days with at least another five warzone events to go before someone gets to take it home forever - it's possible that someone who hasn't yet competed in this years events can still prevail. Lots can happen before October & progression is clearly happening which is what I like to see.  

We saw the warzone debut of Craig Boyle, who has been unleashed by James Stewart - his match against grizzled veteran Dave Curry…

Next PAA event is the Hostile Strength Warzone on Sat 4th April. Unit 14B, Flemington Industrial Park, Motherwell, ML12NT is the address, like all warzones weigh in is between 0930 & 1130, pulling starts 12.  Hostile Strength is a strongman gym of the sort I used to dream of owning thirty years ago & it's owner - Martin Lennox - has the same sort of grumpy humour & belligerence that I have. We get on well & it has become my favourite road trip of the year. There will be a day when Martin decides he has had enough of us - I hope it is not soon. 

This will be the second installment of the league the 2026 ROAD WARRIOR BELT. If you are new/have been hibernating/continually drunk/oblivious/busy/demotivated/injured & don't know what it's all about have a read of www.paa-armwrestling.com/WARZONE & www.paa-armwrestlng.com/PROGRESSION pages - the PAA do armwrestling…

This time last year at ARMGODS 98 WINTERBLAST I declared Independance to be rescinded to a subdued Philadelphia audience after we won the cup. At a state of the union address (pictured above) Ryan Grondin & Ray Romanowski were appointed VP's in charge in my absence & I boarded BRUTE FORCE ONE back to Blighty with a jubiliant team of gorillas. I smile every time I remember that trip. 

The coming weekend has an event in Cumbria organized by Ted Wilson. I put the poster on the www.paa-armwrestling.com/events, so if interested have a read & contact Ted (not me) with details.
