Teams needed for a Knockout Time
Published Stamford Mercury: Sun Dec 05 07:00:00 GMT 2010
FANCY having a laugh with your mates by playing It’s a Knockout- style games while raising money for good causes?
That’s exactly what you and your friends could be doing if you take part in the Rotary Club of Stamford St Martin’s fundraising event next summer, which will be based on the popular game show from the ’70s and ’80s. It will take place on Sunday, May 22 2011, at Stamford Rugby Club on Hambleton Road.
Fun Fun Fun all the Way !
Although the activities for the day are still to be finalised, they could include a human washing machine where people are flung round a massive spongy replica. Others may include hurling wet sponges at each other using a specially designed bungee device or trying to knock your opponents over with a huge soft wrecking ball. There is also a football shoot out with the chance to score extra points if the ball passes through the “bonus holes” and the chance to help a giant chicken collect as many eggs as it can while dodging straw bales.
Charity Knockout Event
Each team needs to raise at least £400, which is only £40 each for a team of 10. Participants must be at least 16. Registration requires a deposit of £150 and can be done by visiting www.iako.co.uk. Spectators are also catered for with a bar, barbecue and entertainment, which is yet to be finalised.
A BIG THANKS to all our fans, supporters and of course customers (a.k.a. Funsters!) for using our “It’s A Knockout” services and games over 2011 … we had the best year so far and we certainly look forward to having more fun and games in 2012.
