It's A Knockout"A brilliant event!"     ...     "Awesome!"     ...     "I loved it!"
These are just a few of the comments made by people who took part in our 2010 It’s a Knockout Charity Challenge, raising funds and awareness, and raising their own business profiles too. Take a look at our film of the event… We’re hoping Knockout 2011 will be even bigger and better.

We Need:
Adult Teams (minimum 15 years) - 10 men and women (at least four of each) plus two subs
Children’s Teams (minimum age 6 years) - six boys and girls
Sponsors - businesses, organisations and individuals to sponsor various aspects of the event
Volunteers - to help on the day
Spectators - to cheer the teams on and have a lot of fun
Donations - prizes for raffle and tombola

Competitors in a challenge eventAdult Teams (minimum 15 years) Entry subject to terms and conditions

J   ten men and women (at least four of each) plus two subs

J   a team 'look'. Last year's looks included pirates, gladiators, ToileTrolls and tartan tutus. Extra points for the best 2011 looks!

J   a team joker (card, figure, icon…). Extra points for the best jokers!

An event like Knockout is expensive to put on and the idea is raise funds. We’re therefore suggesting:

J   a non-refundable entry donation of £300 per team payable on registration

J   sponsorship of at least £100 per team member (additional to the entry donation) to be presented on the day (great photo opportunity) with bonus points for the teams which raise even more

Children’s Teams (6 – 14 years) Entry subject to terms and conditions

J   six children (preferably a mix of boys and girls)

J   we’re suggesting a non-refundable entry donation of at least £5 per child

J   sponsorship is optional but we hope children will wish to fundraise and there’ll be a prize for the child who raises the most by the day of the event
