Burnley friends swap pool games for 12-hour challenge to raise money for Pendleside Hospice
The 'I Definitely Meant That' gang will play pool non-stop for 12 hours at Sandygate Sports Bar in aid of Pendleside Hospice
A group of friends are swapping their usual pool games for a 12-hour marathon challenge to raise money for a much-loved East Lancashire charity.
Six members of the 'I Definitely Meant That' gang will take on a continuous Poolathon at Sandygate Sports Bar on Saturday, November 14, in aid of Pendleside Hospice.
The challenge will see the group play pool non-stop from 11am until 11pm, with a series of unusual forfeits designed to make things even more difficult.
Among them is the 'Wheel of Doom', which will see one participant randomly selected every 30 minutes to face a challenge.
Forfeits include playing while wearing boxing gloves and attempting shots behind their backs.
A 'Random Rack' fashion challenge will also add to the embarrassment, with the group promising plenty of laughs along the way.
Organiser Sean Hefford said the aim was to have fun while raising as much money as possible for Pendleside Hospice.
He said: "Five questionable pool players, one table, twelve hours and absolutely no guarantee of quality!"
The entire event will be livestreamed, with viewers able to follow the action and take part in interactive challenges.
Members of the public are also invited to head down to Sandygate Sports Bar to watch the challenge and join in the fun.
But behind the light-hearted approach is a cause close to the group's hearts.
Pendleside Hospice provides specialist care and support for people living with life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families.
The group hopes donations from the challenge will help the hospice continue its work supporting individuals and families through some of life's most difficult times.
