A great way to promote the sport before the provincials.
Invite everyone you know! Over the Top will be featured at The Ellice Cafe & Theater (at the corner of Ellice & Sherbrook in Wpg.) Monday Feb.27 at 7PM.
Admission is FREE. The theater is supported by free will donations. There will also be draw prizes including the original '87 movie poster! Ryan E. has volunteered his services and we will likely have a table for demonstrations / challenges etc... Get the word out. Should be interesting! Call Gilles at 204-777-5005 or email: michaudg@shaw.ca for more info.

Wow .... That is a great idea! What a great thing to win as well ... "The Poster" would be awesome to add to any armwrestling collection.  |

The Big Breakfast got hold of me today to confirm Friday the 24. They said they get more TV viewers between 7-8 rather than 8-9am. Can you make it in earlier? They will phone me the day before to confirm the order of guests. They are expecting us to bring a table for demonstrations and for you to pull one of their guys for hype. What do you think?
Hopefully this will increase the numbers at provincials.

I will make it happen Gilles. I think it should be you, me and Miles on the show. He has the gift of gab and I think it would be great to have him with us for this. Is that ok with you?
We are also working on some other promo stuff and apparently Hal Anderson from Power97 has agreed to emcee our Provincials.

Cool. I will be on the air with 97 the afternoon of the movie. For the Big B, I want to make sure the Ellice Theater and the movie event gets mentioned because it opened these doors to promote the sport & provincials. Its a very nice fit. Maybe we can make this a tradition. Over the Top a couple of weeks before every provincials, as a recruiting drive of sorts.

No worries... just make sure you have the appropriate info and we make sure you have time to throw in the plug for them.
Maybe Pulling John will be out by next year and we can show that.

Well ... the whole purpose of holding the "Over the Top" event was to get exposure. You guys now know where this theatre / cafe is ... and hopefully may return for other movies in the future. I didn't get the turn out I hoped for (their was 40 in attendance), but we did get the exposure for the sport of armwrestling we were seeking through Global TV's presence ... so all in all, it was a success. Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves.
