A locally run charity wrestling event held bi-annually in Stewarton, East Ayrshire raising money for, and awareness of global poverty. To date the event has raised over £6000 for impoverished farmers and the victims of the 2004 Tsunami.
The First Oxfam Slam
In 2001, Oxfam Slam was created by a group of young (and old) people enthusiastic about global poverty. As a means of raising money and awareness the group hired the local community hall, 'The Institute', as the venue, being the only public arena capable of accommodating a full sized wrestling-ring and up to 300 spectators. Local residents originally lashed out at a violent sporting event being held in their small working class town, but organisers promised the spectacle would not create any degree of disruption and billed the event 'Oxfam Slam: Competing For Change'.
Present Day
The event was a fantastic success, and as promised the fighting was kept strictly to the ring. Since then, Stewarton has played host to many more Oxfam Slams, increasing in popularity and size with each incarnation. Now held in equally dear regard as Stewarton's, 'Bonnet Guild', spring celebrations and highly praised in many regards by the 'Kilmarnock Standard' newspaper, Oxfam Slam continues to go from strength to strength.
