FUN, frolics and frenzy will raise cash – and spirits – in Cleethorpes.
The popular It's A Knockout event will return to the Meridian Park Arena and raise money for St Andrew's Children's Hospice and other local charities.
Organised by the Humberston North Sea Lions, it will see teams of ten wrestle inflatables, bounce over giant obstacles and wade, slip and slide all over the place.
The winners will take home the coveted charity shield while spectators will be treated to a day of 1980s antics.
Already scores of teams are signing up, but Clive Genney, a Lions Club member, wants to see even more people take part.
He said: "It is very much like the old BBC series; there will be giants, water park obstacles and more.
"It is just a great, fun day. We are hoping for good weather, but it won't matter on the day because people will be getting wet anyway!"
Now in its fifth year, the event is the hospice's largest single donor, having raised £80,000 for the cause – and £20,000 for other local charities.
The Lions did not hold it last year, but after an outcry from fans of the fun event, decided it would go ahead again this year.
All the costumes and obstacles were originally used in the hit TV programme.
It will take place on Sunday, July 14, from 12.30pm.
It is free entry for spectators, while teams must raise £600 each – that's £60 a head.
And to show their thanks, the hospice's adult nursing team will take on the children's nursing team.
Senior adults nurse Mell Ryan, 47, says age and experience means her team, the Tender Touches, has the edge.
She said: "We are up for it! We will beat the children's unit hands down. We have got age and experience on our side."
While Katie Pursglove, 25, of the children's nursing team, said: "I am so excited. We are going to bring the adult nurses down! We work together so well, but on July 14, anything goes."
Tim Donovan, Lions member, added: "What a combination. To support a charity like the hospice, which is one of the most deserving causes, and get everyone laughing – not just sniggering but great big belly laughs. It is brilliant."
Free parking is available.
