Saturday, 30 May 2009 THE Evening Mail is looking for people to take part in the annual family fun day to ensure it’s a
knockout event. Preparations are now well underway for the event, which takes place in Barrow Park on July 12. Bands of brave volunteers are being invited to sign up for the It’s a Knockout tournament. Teams of four are needed to take part in the competition, which guarantees inflatable obstacle courses and silly costumes. The event will also provide all the fun of the fair with rides, refreshments, games and stalls and there is still plenty of room for businesses to book a place at the day. Another highlight of the fun day will be junior competition Barrow Loves Talent.
Last year, the event was a huge success and raised £4,000 for local charity Kidsafe UK and the NSPCC, despite non-stop rain throughout the day.
