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.
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.
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.
BRAVE contestants will be leaping into gunge pits and grappling with huge inflatables in an It’s A Knockout challenge in St Albans later this month.
Hosted by children’s television presenter Jamie Rickers, the event, which has nearly 20 teams of ten entered already, will raise money for the National Association for Colitis and Chrohn’s disease and other charities.
Publicist Anna Rowntree said: “The hilarious games will include wet and slippery slides, bubble pools, and penguin races.
“Will a team of contestants from BBC 1’s Total Wipeout show be beaten? Armed with individual mascots, cheerleaders and fancy dress, other teams will compete against each other for knockout glory.”
Although the event on Sunday, July 25, at Old Albanians sports ground off Harpenden Road is almost full, entries are welcome on the day from teams of children, who can compete free. Spectators are welcome from 11am to 4pm.

Beverley Leisure Centre was the location for a very exciting It’s A Knock-Out competition on Saturday afternoon.
Knockout Girls in Beverley Knockout Games
In order to raise money for MNDA (the Motor Neurone Disease Association), teams of Lifeguards, Youth Workers and ‘Sexy Rock Chicks’ from Beverley Leisure Centre pitched battle with each other, while the children that attended ensured everyone enjoyed a thorough soaking with water bombs and buckets. The afternoon concluded with a water fight between the Youth Workers and the children – with the children winning hands down!
Hopefully, once all the money is in, £663 will have been raised. Thanks to all who contributed.

Gwent builders set for wacky charity challengepublished by South Wales Argus 13th May 2010
A TEAM of builders are gearing up for a range of wacky challenges when they take part in a charity fundraiser. The team from Hands on Building Services, based in Bassaleg, Newport, will take part in It’s a Knockout on June 6.
This has been organised by St David’s Foundation Hospice Care and will raise funds for the charity. Teams will compete against each other at the Welfare Grounds in Rogerstone and will win extra points for being the best-dressed, best joker, best-behaved and for the team which raises the most money. The winning team will be awarded the It’s a Knockout Trophy.
Sarah Thomas from Hands On Building Services said: “All our team have family in the area who have benefited from St Davids Foundation and the brilliant work it does in the past. We are all so very aware, as our families grow, that we need to support local organisations like St Davids Foundation so that they may continue to help the people we love in the present and the future. “

VILLAGERS out at Ancaster have taken the lead in trying to raise thousands of pounds to help children with cancer.
It’s a Knockout 2010 will be held on Saturday, June 5 at Kesteven Rugby Football Club. This year’s event is expected to be bigger and better than last, with more teams, games and side stalls.
The event was first held last year, with Ancaster villagers enthusiastically signing up to raise funds for CLIC Sargent.
Angela Aspiotis has been leading the charge in Ancaster.
She said: “ Once again, the people of Ancaster have got behind me to support the It’s A Knockout Challenge.
“Last year we raised over £3000, and this year we would like to beat that.
We have entered three teams, Ancaster Pride Originals, Ancaster Pride Ladies Lionesses and youth team The Lost Boys. “We also have Molly’s cheerleaders aged six to nine. A day for all the family is planned, with a tombola, cake and home produce stalls and a raffle. The top raffle prize will be a Nintendo Wii with Wii Fit and Sports Resort. Children from Ancaster Primary School are also busy making flags and banners to support the villagers on the day.
Angela said: “People of all ages are helping in some way. We are all looking forward to a good, old-fashioned family, fun day out, showing true community spirit.”
WOW! I found a web page that lists LOADS of IT’s A KNOCKOUT MEMORABILIA – including board games, mugs, DVDs, T-Shirts, programs, magazines, books and trophies. Well yes it’s a bit nostalgic and indilgent but have a look !! There’s some old faces there.
And the same web site has a feature with pictures about the infamous ‘It’s A Knockout’ Royal Gala event – apprently raising 1 million punds for charity (a lot of money in 1987). Check out the list of famous celebs you also took part at the time.
