ITS A
KNOCKOUT FUN RETURNING TO LIVERPOOL
GIANT Inflatable obstacles, fancy dress, joker cards and lots
of foam will be the order of the day as an ‘Its a Knockout’
team challenge event returns to Liverpool later this year.
The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, which funds research into a cure
for muscle wasting diseases, is again holding this fun-filled day
after previous
successful Knockout challenge days in the city over the past 2
years.
Charles Horton, Regional Fundraising Manager for the charity says:-
“We need as many teams as possible to enter and raise
sponsorship to help us pay for research into a cure for muscle
diseases. There are some great games involved in Knockout Challenge
and everyone who takes part always has plenty of enjoyment and
laughter. A team consists of up to 10 people and can be made up of
family and friends, work colleagues or local pub and club teams – in
fact anyone who wants a really fun day!”.
This year the Knockout show will have a nursery rhyme theme
including games with such intriguing names as ‘Bah Bah Blind
Sheep’, ‘Humpty Dumpty’ and ‘This Little Piggy’,
all designed with a big emphasis on fun. The event is taking place
at Childwall School on Saturday September 16 from 1pm to 5pm.
Catering facilities will be available.
To receive an information pack and enter
a team, call the Regional office of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign
now on 01244 403012 or

THE
CRÈME DE LA CRÈME IN A CRISIS PRIME
Minister Tony Blair, tough-talking businessman Sir Alan Sugar and US
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have all been named as the
public figures Northerners think could best handle a crisis,
according to in a poll commissioned by the British Red Cross, the
country’s leading voluntary crisis response organisation, to mark
Red Cross Week. In
the ICM poll conducted last month, the public were asked to name
which well-known figure that they thought could best handle a
crisis. Of the diverse list of names, Tony Blair came top with 21%,
but was closely followed by Sir Alan Sugar with 18% and Condoleezza
Rice with 8% of the vote in the North. Dame Ellen MacArthur, Gordon
Ramsay, Winston Churchill and Sven Goran Eriksson were also named as
some of the best people to have around during a crisis.
Red Cross Week is the annual fundraising
and awareness-raising week for the British Red Cross. This year, the
charity is asking the British public to help it to be there for
people in a crisis, by donating money. The life saving work of the
Red Cross is largely funded by the generosity of the British public
and the charity aims to raise up to £1million. All money will go
towards supporting vulnerable people in crisis, both in the UK and
overseas. Mark
Astarita, director of fundraising, British Red Cross said:-
“In our poll, the public have nominated people from all walks of
life; individuals who have either experienced a crisis or exhibit
the determination and resolve that suggests they would cope very
well. As the country’s leading voluntary crisis response
organisation, helping people to cope in a crisis is precisely what
the British Red Cross does everyday of the year. If you haven’t
already supported us this Red Cross Week, do visit our
website
and help us continue to provide unconditional care in a crisis by
donating online.”
