The
Big Gig
It's A Knockout
It's that time of year again when we are
recruiting teams for the Thurso Gala 2008,
It's a Knock Out Event. Teams of up to six
people are being invited to apply to compete
in this years competition to be staged at
the Dammies, Thurso on Sunday the 10th of
August, from midday onwards.
The same three
charities will be hosting the event, Thurso
Town Improvements, Thurso Football Club,
along with ourselves at Scallywags Nursery.
The equipment
on the day will consist of a bouncy boxing
ring, gladiator joist, bungee run, sumo
suits, tug of war and an inflatable assault
course finale. We hope to also stage a mini
knock out competition for the kids,
children's races and a penalty shoot out.
Other attractions on the day will be a
licensed bar, barbecue, face painting,
bouncy castle, Hee Haw donkeys and more to
be confirmed.
If your group
or your organisation would like to take part
in this fun event, please do not hesitate to
contact me on 01847 851 841 or via email on
mackenzie@inkstack.fsnet.co.uk
Come along and support your local community
whilst having a laugh at the same time.
Thurso Fire Station took part last year and
won £100 for their own charitable fund, you
could do the same. I'll looking forward to
hearing from you all.
