Husky prizes to be won!

As the title says! Oh and its FREE to enter!!!

 

I'll give you a little background on how. As many of you will know that husky sponsered the world pole climbing at the APF last year giving away £3000 in prize money and goodies. So as a result of this and a lot of hard work from Terry Benett and Lisa Richards husky are sponsring 2 main events this year! woodfest and the three counties (three counties also are holding the europeans on the last day).

 

There are a few category's

 

Tree surgeon class- side spikes only

Expert - sides or toe spikes

Female - fastest time over the event

vets(over 40's) - fastest time

 

 

 

Now some of you might think oh its competitive. Honestly it isn't really at all you'll find everyone really approchable. ( I was concerend before i entered my 1st comp thinking that there would be guys physcing themselves up etc. In realilty is was lots of people chilling and having a good laugh.)

You don't need to worry about a strop either as we have the special racing ones made up for you and anyone will lend you theres if you ask. They take around 10-15 seconds off a normal run. If you ask and have the right size feet im sure people will let you have a go in thier racing spikes (i will if you ask).

 

Camping is normally free or on site and close to the beer tent (drinking is one of the highlights, although we are yet to get our own 200t guitar man).

 

Oh you get a free goodie bag for entering the comp which has got to be worth it itself right! which will lead me to my last question

 

 

I started a year ago in the tree surgery catergory and had a go, initally i was worried about looking rubbish but i did it in around 25 seconds which wasn't the fastest but still to 80ft that wasn't bad i thought, by the end of the season i moved up to expert and finished 13th in the world out of a final qualifying field of 14:lol:. So if you fancy a go even if you just have one run up the pole im sure you'll walk away chuffed to bits with your time.

So i've been asked to compile a list of prizes (husky stuff only) which will be spread across the goodie bags and 1-6th places in each category so have your chance to say what you'd like to see avaliable to win just remember i've got to give a list of stuff so feel free to list them below and i'll add them to the list and they will be sent to husky.

 

Entry is free remember so don't miss your chance to win something or at least get a free goodie bag :thumbup1:
