Last night, 3,000 plastic balls bounced down Cargate Hill in Filey, raising thousands of pounds for Filey Lions.
Paddy hosted the event with hundreds of locals and holidaymakers turning out to watch the spectacle.
Mike Gibson from Filey Lions said they were blown away by the support after selling out of balls with 30 minutes to go before the event.
2,500 balls were sold in the foyer at Tesco in Filey and outside Hunters in the town in the week before the event.
500 were kept back to sell on the night and were all snapped up by 7pm.
At 7:30, Paddy from This Is The Coast did the countdown before the balls were released from the bucket of a tractor at the top of Cargate Hill.

Here's some highlights from the event:
Top prize for the winning ball was £150. 2nd place won £75. 3rd place £50, 4th place won £40 and 5th placed secured £30.
Profits will be used for local good causes in the Filey area.
