Paul and Tim will be having a pre-tour warm up party on Saturday 25th August 2007.
If you are in London and wish to join the party, you can find them in Clapham from 1pm and will be partying right through the day and into the early hours.
To join the party, head down to SW4 Bar where it will be kicking off (nearest tube station: Clapham Common).
Updated: A few pictures from the evening.
The UK Stack Pack finally answer the requests to their fans and rivals by showing the world how they train, how they stack and how they stack up against the clock.
The message they want to say is: ‘Nothing is impossible.‘
As the tour gets closer, the boys are now getting themselves all stacked up and ready to go. With lots to do in terms of training and preparation, they received an invitation from new sponsors Speed Stacks to attend an event being held at The Meadows Shopping Centre in Chelmsford, Essex.
Unfortunately, Tim was unable to make it so Paul being the other 50% of the pack attended the event.
The event was organised by Speed Stacks where UK Champion Kate Parker was present and they demonstrated and educated people about the benefits you can achieve.
A lot of people who had never seen or heard of Sport Stacking before walked away today knowing that this sport is great and is here to stay.
Below is a picture of Paul G with Kate Parker (UK Champion).
After many hours of calls and emails, negotiations with the short listed parties have now come to an end. We can confirm that the UK Stack Pack has agreed a sponsorship deal with The Leader in Sport Stacks who are none other than Speed Stacks themselves.
We were offered some great deals, however we thought that by teaming up with Speed Stacks, it would be big message to those involved with the sport and for the fans.
Seeing as Speed Stacks is the Official Sport Stacking Equipment of the World Sport Stacking Association and is the only equipment approved for use at sanctioned WSSA events, we are proud and honoured to be part of the team.
We would like to thank Ron Parker of Speed Stacks UK for all the help and hard work to help the UK Stack Pack get this far.
A common question I am asked time and time again, is sport stacking going to be in the Olympics?
Although some would argue that sport stacking is not a real sport, some of us will argue if 22 stone guys throwing darts is also a sport?
Well, to give sport stackers of the world hope, we can confirm that we have made the move and approached Ms Barbro Ronnberg of the Association of the IOC Recognised International Sports Federation. We are now awaiting a reply and will keep you posted with any news that we receive.
Paul and Tim gave their first ever interview this weekend. You can see it here.
Thank you to Amy and Vicky who sent us these photographs of people who are showing their support to the UK Stack Pack. With almost 3 weeks until Paul and Tim depart they are appreciating all the support they are receiving.
Here are the photographs that they sent us.
The time is fast approaching for us to begin our world tour. I am pleased to say that the training, although physically and mentally demanding, is going extremely well. Not only are we shaving miliseconds off our times, but the hype around the UK Stack Pack is growing. It is great to see the public in full support of our passion for sport stacking.
