Luke Adams, Carl Tinsley, Michael Chapman, Chris Cope and Glenn Powell are putting on a brave face tomorrow evening (Friday), when they take place in a charity Waxing Event taking place at the River Parrett Inn, Bridgwater.
The event, which was an idea that came together one Friday evening, is raising funds for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and the British Forces Association.
Luke, landlord of the River Parrett and one of the brave men being waxed, is looking forward to the night and said, “We are not nervous now at all, just really excited. Anyone who attends on the night will be in for a fun packed evening. We are all being waxed from the neck down. People can come along on the night and buy a strip of wax for £3 and have a go. We are hoping to raise as much as we can for these two great charities.” (more…)
