Gary Clarke, who founded the competition in 2015, is organising this years event at Holyrood Academy. For the past two years in the town, the competition has been held at The Guildhall. The UK Championships will be held on Sunday, September 5, from 10am until 5pm. “Thank you to all the sponsors and everyone that has helped, it is good to be back after disturbance from the pandemic,” said Mr Clarke. “The last few years of the competition have been fantastic, we have had more than 500 people watching. “This year, we will have the max log lift, the axle deadlifts, the front hold, the giant dumbbell press and the stone medley (a mix of atlas stones and natural stones).

PLANS: Artist s Impression of 252 homes on A358 Tatworth Road in Chard. Pic: Persimmon Homes South West. NO sites have been identified for any new primary schools in Chard despite large numbers of new homes being approved. The Chard Eastern Development Area (CEDA) is expected to deliver up to 2,700 homes between the A358 Tatworth Road and the A30 Crewkerne Road, along with 17 hectares of employment land and two new primary schools. South Somerset District Council has already approved a number of housing developments within the CEDA – including two sites on Tatworth Road which will deliver a combined total of 294 homes. But Somerset County Council has admitted it is no closer to securing a site for either new school – and claims that the town will not need a new primary school until 2024 at the earliest.
