FANTASTIC weather graced the recent It’s a Knock-out event at Bowden Derra, Polyphant.

Sandy Goodman, retail manager, said: “It’s the first time we’ve had It’s a Knock-out. We organised it as a charity event for our residents, families and teams of supporters.”

The charities set to benefit from the event are Cornwall Air Ambulance and The Sea Group, the Royal Marines charity.

Participants were given a month to get all sponsorship money in, so the final figure is not yet known.

Nine teams took part, including Bowden Derra staff, Launceston firefighters and other local businesses.

Teams tackled the course, including huge inflatables, fancy dress, with lots of water and foam involved!

The winning team was the Homeleigh Hippos, made up of staff from Homeleigh Hair and Beauty.

Sandy added: “The residents thoroughly enjoyed it, there was lots of fun. There aren’t any more events planned, but once we see how much was raised from it, I am sure there will be other events to follow.

“Thanks to everybody who took part and made it such an enjoyable day.”
