We hope to be able to post information about any events that may be able to happen in 2020 but at the moment with the Covid 19 situation it doesn’t look too promising.

We wish our members and supporters a safe time during theses sad times….Stay Safe!

2020 is compounded as well by having to report on the loss of two of our Judges:

David Ling – former Federation Chairman, Judge and Coach of Woodton Tug of War Club who passed in December 2019, and was buried in January 2020, earlier in the year,

and now Glyn Lawrence – Long time Federation Judge and former pulling member of Holland Tug of War Club, who sadly passed on 25th April, falling victim to the Corona virus,

At such difficult times our thoughts are with the families of our lost members, gone but not forgotten!
