“We decided that Barons was the best place to hold the competition and we are really looking forward to the day.”
The competition will be officiated by former World Strongest Man competitor Terry Hollands and Mort is delighted to have him on board for the day.
He added: “Terry is a huge legend in the sport, he’s a big name to be involved and everyone will be looking forward to seeing him at the event.”
