THE first in what organisers hope will be a series of family fun days in aid of Cancer Research UK is being held at Liverton Copse Community Centre on Sunday.

The fun day is being held on July 26 beginning at 12noon until 12midnight and includes a Tae Kwon Do exhibition, a fashion show, body waxing fundraiser, tombola and stalls and children's games.

Visitors can try their hand at 'sumo' wrestling, complete with 'fat' suit following a demonstration from bouncers and doormen from a number of Exmouth's pubs and clubs.

Teams of four are invited to compete in a skittle tournament where a whole barrel of ale is up for grabs and other activities include a treasure hunt and a 'beat the goalie' competition.

Martin Dare is one of several people who are having a whole body wax for the charity and other activities include an 'It's a Knockout Competition,' while two local bands will be playing live sets.

There will also be a fashion show with clothing from the Cancer Research UK. Exmouth Charity Shop and manager and fun day organiser Angela Dougall said: "It's going to be a great family day, something for everyone and if this is successful we hope to hold them every year and everybody is welcome

"We are hoping to raise �3,000 to help fund research and pay for drugs and treatment for sufferers.
