All of them will be doing some pad work to help raise funds for the Hastings Ex-Boxers Association, which helps boxers who have fallen on hard times and local charities such as the Oliver Curd Trust.

Sold out within a week of tickets going on sale, the show will be filmed by Glenn Veness, who produced the I Love This Town film about Hastings Old Town. A copy will be given to Hastings Museum and others will be on sale. The evening will be rounded-off with a karaoke.
