Thought I'd drop in and say HI.

I'm jonny from Northern Ireland and in the process of opening a CrossFit gym over here(eventually, so much red tape when trying to secure premises), anyway Chet has posted some of his Crossfit WOD times on our forum so I thought I'd start logging mine here.

So a big hello to all

Cheers

Jonny

Hey mate,

Great to see you here

So...how is the box-hunt going?? Are you close enough to have a rough date set yet?

Its been a long slow process, never thought it would be as hard just to secure somewhere, so many rules and regulations.

We are just trying to sort out the lease which is with our solicitor. So hopefully good news very soon.

hey johnny, good luck with the venue bud. Was actually looking at flights to belfast to come and see you guys once you were in. I have managed to rent about 500/600 sq ft from a gym I use for PT. Hopefully will be in at the end of August. If your ever over come visit CF Reading. Let us know how you get on.

I'm like a goddamn Navy Seal and Olympic gold medalist wrapped in a f***ing suit of body armour. I'm f***ing elite.

Aye, the ranks are really starting to swell down here. Hopefully we'll soon be able to challenge the Scientologists as the largest cult in the Dublin region.

Remember Will it isn't a cult...the Leader said so!

Just letting you all know that crossfit Northern Ireland just collected the keys of our new box today.

There is quite a bit of work to be done, so we will be spending August getting it sorted and hopefully be up and running for September.
