ORGANISERS of two It's a Knockout events are looking for 140 gung-ho volunteers to help raise thousands of pounds for charity.

The events, to take place on July 12 and August 23, will involve teams of 10 battling with giant inflatables and each other to win the contest and will end with a gala dinner.

Sponsorship money raised by the teams will go to Maundy Relief, which helps poorly children in the Accrington area.

Organiser Lynn Thomson said: "We are hoping lots of people will come forward then we can raise thousands of pounds for charity.

"We have held one event before, which everyone enjoyed by everyone who took part, and if we get the teams we can carry on having fun and raising the money.

"We have not yet decided where to hold the events, so anyone who has the space and would like us to use it can also get in touch."

Anyone interested in taking part can call Lynn on 01282 778606 or 07729 572745.
