Wow, that really IS an awsomely tacky website!!!!

Can't go on Saturday, but I could be tempted on the Sunday as it's just 15 mins from me (and even closer for you, Keith!). Anyone else semi-keen?

I would have loved to be going to this event but it is unfortunately too short notice. I have made other arrangements for the weekend. :(

I am really keen to go to the next Iron Fest so hopefully we can diarise that when I know a date.

Thanks for the heads up Keith. Hope you have a great day and get some of your usual fantastic shots.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

From the "Tacky" Web site:
You will witness fully armoured men – each weighing up to 40kg – charge towards each other


Hmmm. 40kg including armour. Now I weigh 85kg in my socks. How much must that armour weigh to get me up to a total of 40kg?

Where can I get some? :o :o :o
