President's Bulletin:
Updated 18th April 2026

29 of us contested the Devastating Devon/Odins Warzone - a good turnout considering both Armgods & Armwars had events this weekend as well. Iron Paul Maiden took the maximum points for the right arm unbeaten - something only James Wall, James Stewart, Lee Webber, David Bradford & Dan Hanlon have done. He declared himself to be "back" when he had his photo taken with the belt & the bottle of Gin that was kindly donated to the winners by Runes Gin Co. Stuart Acton won left having had some very hard battles over the day. Once Stuart & Paul had won their golds, the finals were the most fiercely contested that we have had - both took 24 matches to settle. There were 231 matches in total over the day & some interesting battles. A returning Matt Puttick was a welcome addition - last seen in February 2019 at the last Iron Arm event. Matt helped us referee too along with Satin Violet who had travelled all the way from North Wales (as she did at Preston) to find there were no opponents. Both did a fine job alongside Oli Williams, Alan Milne & Scott Barratt who also competed. Vicky Crosby manned the scoring with me again so it was an easy day in that regard. 

​

The absence of the previous top five allowed Karl Crosby to gain the number two league ranking with his 10 points from the Left bronze medal. There are four more warzones scheduled - maybe five if I can get another venue where & when I want it. Those falling behind have time to catch up, though it only takes a big hitter to enter unexpectedly to throw a spanner in the works for those plugging away at the points. They like having that photo with the Warzone belt it seems. Who will be taking it home with them in October?

​

Armgods Ultimate Armwrestler 18 was held today (Sunday) with 17 matches. I saw the last two on arriving back home from Devon so if like me you missed the action you will be able to watch again via www.armgods.com or the armgods app.

​

I was delighted to see that Bogdan Stoica is the next opponent of Todd Hutchings on East vs West. I've followed Bogdan on his escapades abroad & seen him demolish highly rated opponents first hand in Ireland & America. I'm a big fan of Toddzilla so it's a dream match. Good luck with it Bogdan, wish him the best why don't you? He's currently our best export.

IFA Euros entry opens 1st May I'm told. EUROSTEAM Page has the details I know so far.

Declan Dillon has been invited to compete at the world championships in strict curl, in Siedlce Poland on May 17th 2026. Give him some support if you can, you'll want to be his mate when he returns as the champ.

See you down the road.
