Here is the basic idea……
Join a team with two others. It only costs £30 per team. The money all goes into a charity prize pot. The winning team gets 50% as a well earned prize. They all decide on the charity for the other 50%. Launch Night: Friday 20th April
Final Event and Prize Giving: Friday 25th May
Each team member will collect points over the five-week period.
The targets are:
o five pieces of fruit and veg a day,
o drinking 1.7 litres of water a day,
o taking 6 thirty-minute exercise sessions in a week
o if appropriate losing 1-2 pounds a week.
Maybe teams will want to get together for regular walks or exercise classes, monitor and encourage each other.
The Benefits
For some of us it will be the kick up the butt we need to do something.
For others it will sit well alongside existing weight loss or exercise programmes but with the added benefit of being part of a team to keep you going.
Exercise can be taken appropriate to your fitness level or medical condition.
It will not take up a lot of time.

Only Requirements
One person from each team must be at the launch event to learn how to count points.
All participants must either be at the launch and final event to record a weight or must submit something with a recording of you weight such as a Tesco weigh in slip or a signed Weight Watchers card. This will only be checked by the project adjudicator and does not need to be declared to anyone else.
